​Why do you use rank instead of score?

The reason total rank is used over total score is to negate any bias from the judges. 1 super high or low score can give 1 team a huge advantage or disadvantage. Using Rank allows each judges scoring to have equal weight ( highest score =1, second highest score=2) and negate bias.

Do we need to use all of the time limit?

Performances are judged based on their quality, not length. You do not have to use the maximum time limit if you don't have to.
