Team #1 clearly has an advantage, but due to one player, they lose when considering the total number of days.
In my opinion, the average result should be used.
As for "place or days," it's certainly more common to consider the place. But it depends on other "external" participants. For example, I might be only 2 days behind you. But 30 people are between us... So, how do you compare our places? And at the same time, you might be 10 days behind the leader, but in terms of places, you're right behind him... This creates an imbalance.
Preliminary summary:
Option #1. The total number of days for all team members is taken into account. The team with the lowest total wins.
Option #2. As a Solomon-like solution, we can propose the following calculation scheme: all six participants are ranked from 1st to 6th place based on their individual results. Then, the average is calculated. The team with the lowest average wins... :D
Let's think and choose. We have time. Otherwise, we can run the calculation using both systems. And each team can choose the one they like best :D After all, it's not about winning – "the main thing is to get Wisdom!" (c) Am I right? :)
I have another idea, but I don't have time to test it. :) Let's say 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th places get 200, 150, 130, and 100 conditional points, respectively. 5th to 10th places all get 70 points, 10th to 20th places get 50 points, 20th to 40th places get 30 points, and from 40th place to the end, they get 15 points. Then we have a more balanced scoring system.
The problem is how to set the coefficients. Why specifically 200-150-130... and so on? What if it's 457-351-258...? The final result will be completely different. So, introducing coefficients is a thankless task. It needs to be justified, but is it necessary?
