Fairest may to work out "winners" is perhaps to decide the best team on a man-for-man basis. That way, with 12 medals, the 13-man Tongan team would win. Again, gold medals are what count and perhaps the team with the most should take the winner's laurel, regardless of silver and bronze. PIAA takes the middle course and allocates three points for a gold, two for a silver and one for a bronze.
