Aware that even if I came up with a short that managed to place as #1, I'd still not move on again, I literally wrote a follow-up to last year's C2 Spy script; same characters, different setting and mission, though this time a nice li'l knife-fight action scene.
I enjoy this competition, even if I "only" come away with a few new short scripts for my files...
With the placings you honestly never know. It really depends on how your group places and it's entirely possible to not place in ch1 and go through on the strength of your ch2 points. Similarly it's possible to win in ch1 and flame out in ch2
But either way the benefit of this comp is the chance to write and try new stuff and get feedback from the forum and the judging. The prizes are just a mythical maybe-one-day bonus

Cool! I was unaware of the nuance of the group's overall point score.
Definitely concur with the latter part of your reply; thanks!
