International Differences
In Britain and Australia, the course consists of five poles, whereas in America there are seven poles. Although all countries used the 10 points for a contender win score format, each country had other scoring formats should a contender not win. In Britain, losing contenders would receive 1 point for each pole completed. In America, losing contenders would receive 5 points should they get on or past the fifth pole on the course by the time the Gladiator wins. In Australia no points are awarded unless the contender wins.
