<h2>How we compute scores</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
The contest is made up of multiple categories.
|
|
|
|
|
Each category is worth one point toward the total score;
|
|
|
|
|
your team's score in a category is the fraction of the total points unlocked so far in that category.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
The team that has 30% of the points
|
|
|
|
|
in each of five categories has 1.5 points, whereas the team that
|
|
|
|
|
has 80% of the points in only one category has 0.8 points. It is
|
|
|
|
|
typically better to have a few points in many categories, than
|
|
|
|
|
many points in a few categories.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
When points are unlocked in a category,
|
|
|
|
|
every other team's score in that category goes down until they too score that point.
|
|
|
|
|
Unlike previous years, however,
|
|
|
|
|
unlocking points is the only way to reduce another team's score.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
There are two main ways to make points: <em>puzzles</em>
|
|
|
|
|
and <em>tokens</em>. Your contest may have other ways to make
|
|
|
|
|
points: these will either be automatic, or explained elsewhere.
