7. Should a change in staff number in the last week of the Challenge result in a change in position on the results page/leaderboard, the decision will go in favour of any team that has been overtaken, as opposed to a team that has climbed the leader board by a late change in staff number.

Round the World Challenge Route

1. The route used for the Round the World Challenge has been created for the purpose of the 'virtual' bike ride. The distances between each location are measured 'as the crow flies' and are therefore unlikely to be representative of the true distances that would be cycled in a real bike ride along this route.
2. The image used to represent a team's progress along the journey has been created for entertainment purposes. Some cities/landmarks are positioned on the image in such as way that improves the user experience of the Challenge. Their location on the image is not intended to be an exact representation of their position along the route.
