yup, those are scores. Miguel won 20 points with a time of 15.something. If Abram got 14 points, his time was around 22 sec.
The out-of-staters were not considered part of the contest for purposes of choosing the finalists since they were not eligible to represent our chapter. I believe lots of chapters do it that way, though some apparently would allow their scores to affect the prelims (i.e., if they had a FL time of 12 seconds, Miguel would have only scored 16 points). Noel actually would have lowered Miguel's (and everyone's) Work Climb score, since he was the fastest.
For example, as it turns out, the board shows me ahead of Rick, but Noel would have brought me down to 9th place overall (not 8th) if his score counted.
