Your idea is good, but why coefficient is 3%? I'm not sure that this number is the most optimal here.
Goal: A fair and interesting final/endgame for everyone
Suggestion: Final - City competition
Final - Triumph of Leadership and Team spirit!!
Final - City competition!
1) All cities start: A) as now B) simultaneously C) with a smaller difference
2) The starting position of the city brings more prestige points for goods delivered in this city
2*) Opportunity: Europe, USA - The city's position gives regional points. (Points for the position before Final; Points for the Final position)
3) New 12 goods open every A) 12, B) 18 or C) 24 hours
4) All 12 goods remain open for the entire 12, 18 or 24 hour period! (No finished goods !!!)
5) The whole finale lasts 2, 3 or 4 days. No more! Not less! For every city! (All cities have the same time to participate!)
6) The winner is defined by the formula when the entire period is over (The formula includes a quantity of goods, balance ....)
7) We need a fairer system of distribution of the prestige in the team
At the start of each set: All trains except the Passenger are parked
9) We need a little bigger prize for the winning city
This is a competition for all players!
Everyone can participate and have fun.
This is a competition for great leaders!
And amazing teams!
Competition to the last minute!
For details and advantages, see below vvv

>> 3) New 12 goods open every A) 12, B) 18 or C) 24 hours
Probably less on an express server. And more of a normal server.
>> 6) The winner is defined by the formula when the entire period is over. (The formula includes a quantity of goods, balance ....)
Example (Formula):
Average arithmetic between: The 4 least delivered goods
(total or from each set - one good)
>> 7) We need a fairer system of distribution of the prestige in the team.
It is not possible for 1 player! With his own bonus trains!
To make his team the number one on delivery in the city!
The result of the team is from the activity of all players in it.
It is not fair that the prestige of the team falls from 2200 to 11. (100% -> 0,5%)
The success of the team is due to all participating players.
We need a fairer distribution of prestige.

You have written all details very well. But you have forgotten about one thing - bonus locomotives - if play correctly they guarantee success and they have no alternatives.
Can you describe in more detail the problem you see?
Let me compared 2 of my experiences, roughly equal career engines, 20+ wagons, era 6 good-capable;
Both consisted of my running 5x olympuses and respnding to well over 30 goods on the ON-calls.
We were the winning region on both.
1st experience;
Big ben finished like 2 weeks ago. I had the following bonus engines;
red kite, bull, ice-breaker, isis, zeus, sphinx, valkyrie,
I wont count the PAXers, ebcause they dont matter much.
My asso was 3rd/4th hauling asso on all goods in the city.
What happens is that on every call when i was present I got the top-hauler spot in my association, and I managed to go from rank 15 to 7 on the server. On average I got about 1500 PP/good
2nd experience;
The second experience on Tower bridge I had red kite, no other bonus engines.
I went from rank 16 to rank 12.
I was in the top association where many players had 4+ bonus cargo engines.
The result is I was often the #10-15 hauler in my asso, only got 50-500 PP/good and couldn't advance my position. On many calls I was sending my trains directly seconds after it had been posted, and still got like 52 measly PP with boosted olys and mechanics.
The main difference; bonus engines. They are an absolute MUST-have for even a decent EG. If a player doesn't have at least 3 of the top 4 bonus-cargo engines, screw the EG, it's useless.
I understand what you wrote.
Everything seems normal.
It is fair for more active players and those with more bonus trains to gain more prestige.
Maybe I do not understand something.
Maybe I'm too stupid.
But I do not see a problem in this.
If we talk about
7) We need a fairer system of distribution of the prestige in the team
It is not possible for 1 player, with his bonus trains, to make his team the number one on delivery in the city.
The result of the team is from the activity of all players in it.
According to me. It is not fair that the prestige of the team falls from 2200 to 11. (100% -> 0,5%)
In this case.
The success of player number 1 in the team. And the prestige he gets.
Much more is due to other players in the team than to his own bonus trains.
The success of the player depends much more on the team than on his own bonus trains!
That is why I propose a fair distribution of the prestige in the team.

Maybe I'm too stupid.
Nah, you come up with way too many ideas for that 
Nah, you come up with way too many ideas for that
That's because I'm crazy. 
oh no, there is definitely a problem.
Or should I say, if you want prestige in the EG, you are strongly encouraged to play by yourself, and not in an active team.
On my server, not having all the bonus trains or missing the call by 30sec meant going from 1st hauler to 6th. That actually encourages people to "bet" on the next call in advance, to gain those 10sec that will mean earning 1st spot, instead of 6th.
I would definitely prefer a fairer prestige distribution (and a rework of the association points at the same time. Kinda stupid that the 6 eras are worth nothing compared to delivering to all megacities in the EG).
What do you think of distributing the prestige by: Formula -5?
Goal: Encourage team spirit
Suggestion: Formula -5
I'm now in the middle of EG and again its time of biggest frustrations...
on offliners who keep hauling and putting waiting times up
on sabotageurs who on purpose put waiting times up
on people who dont know how to play EG and put waiting times up
on people who just dont care and put waiting times up
on people who forgot to change routes and put waiting times up
So my personal one and only proposition would be just to make waiting times during EG 3 times lower to cut frustrations down
A good caller can work around and/or manipulate wait times to keep the city moving.

This is an "socialist" formula XD
So: No way. Don't like this 5th F.
The 1st Player in deliveries need won more than others. Or... what interest we have haul more than others if all gain basically the same PP?
Do you want to change the formula for more PP in EG?
Maybe like that:
PP(n) = PP(n-1) - [(10 * PP(n-1)) / (9 * (n+5))]
Where
PP(n) = Prestige for Player in Position n
PP(n-1) = Prestige for Player in Position n-1
Ex: n= 2
PP(n-1) = PP(1) = 2199
n+5 = 2+5 = 7 
so, PP(2) = PP(1) - [(10 * PP(1)) / (9 * (7))] = 2199 - [(10 * 2199) / (9 * 7)] = 1710
and so:
More difference between the 1st and the others than in your (HMR) Formula # 5, but not as much as in the current one.
