Partly I think this was a dropped ball by the producer - the lack of on-screen scoreboard throughout until results were final was a pain.
When they were displayed, they were all to 2 decimal places, which AFAIK is redundant as even in a tie, everyone gets the same, not an average, so that made the scoreboard hard to read when it was up.
I know there was/is the "these results aren't final as teams might appeal" proviso for live leaderboards, but it would make it much more immediate, rather than running Excel or a notepad on the side.
For bouldering scoring... I'm torn. That Brooke got no more than anyone except Janja on B2 is harsh when she just dropped the top, but does make for exciting viewing.
In some US comps, they've tried different methods, similar to lead where there's more scoring holds, but this massively depends on the nature of the problem and you have a problem with only 5 holds, vs another with 20.
