Handle large competitor groups scoring better for Street Comp #120

When there are many competitors (think: 70) for a competition (Street), with the existing rules, there will be a large number of ties for places > 7 because no points are awarded below 7th place.

Recommended changes: For prelims let’s award 1 point for 1st, 2 points for 2nd, etc for each judge where the lowest sum is best. That way, we will not end up with 62 people tied for 8th place. Then for finals we can resume the 10/7/5/3/2/1/0 because we care more about the fine ordering of a small group opposed to filtering out the best from a large group.

This is really necessary, the current rules were written around 6 years ago when we couldn't have imagined so many people competing in street.
