What is a "small team" challenge? and other challenge questions

I found the Team Challenge FAQ but could not find any information on this first question.

What defines a "Small Team Challenge"?

If you enter a challenge late, do your team's statistics get back-calculated to the start date, or do they only start when you enter?

Why do some active challenges show rankings in the challenge control panel, and others don't?

Re: What is a "small team" challenge? and other challenge questions

Hi,

The STC's are a captain defined challenge format. Seen comments that not all teams entering into those are really *small*, but nothing WCG can do about that. Maybe if there was an ability for the starting captain to affix a descriptive text to a challenge that would clarify. At any rate, referring to team captains to fill you in on the intended *small*.

Late entry in a challenge [when enabled] gives credit for the full day of entry i.e. back to 00:01 of that day. A race could be stampeded if it were back to the first day... simply join on the last day and still be high ranked if not become the winner.

Can you give some linked examples of this ranking showing / not showing?

Re: What is a "small team" challenge? and other challenge questions

As an example, my team is entered in the "Christmas Race 2011" but no placing is shown. I at first assumed that placings did not appear until completion of the challenge, but looking at other teams entered in multiple challenges, I do see placings for the other challenges, but not for the "Christmas Race 2011" on their pages either. The page of that specific race does show the placings, however.

OK, think I'm with you. The Team page has the rank omitted, where on the challenge detail page your team is ranked 6th. Don't know... smells like a bug.
