From the article, "Determining each corps’ average score in the first six TOC events, then adding each corps’ respective average to its score from Buffalo, N.Y. yields the final cumulative score."

Does that mean the Buffalo show counts 6 times as much as each of the other shows, or did they just word this badly?

yes - that's what it means. The Buffalo show is heavily weighted.

What is the purpose of that? Why would one show be more important score-wise than any of the others?

much like finals is more important than any other show - I guess they decided to weigh it toward the final show to keep the "winner" in doubt up until the end... Plus it allows a corps to come from behind with a late season surge
