So 1st place in a hw category with 9 participants is worth 2/10 = .2 team points. And maybe 2 individual hw points, if its in your top 20 submissions.
Honestly this doesn't matter to me much. But I think many people would be happy to see this changed. Plus it would encourage people to continue to bench unpopular hardware. I see people who won't submit .1 results. It actually hurts the database as a whole. Just my 2c.
