There is something inherently wrong with the "team" selection process in the NCC. Some time ago, the process was changed to make the NCC "fairer". What it did was the opposite...as described by the previous poster. In the contest ending this evening, teams #2 through #10 are separated (at this time) by about 1,500,000 points. Team #1 leads by about 5,600,000 points. This situation is not an outlier. It happens regularly. Other criteria need to be used to select the teams...diversification, frequency of activity, the wish to be included in this contest (opt-out has been suggested).
