THE WINNER MODE

This is how the winning team is determined:

The team with the better overall performance wins the 4-lakes duel and the extension of the border.
All times are averaged and the location of the "new" boundary stone is calculated.
At the award ceremony, a virtual boundary stone is set and placed on the course at a later date. It will remain there for a whole year to remind of the duel.
The 4 Lakes Duel will take place again one year later and the battle for the border will be fought anew...
