Example Round Scores
Team A through Team F do not exist and none of these games were played. The maps and every scoring rule applied below are real: the tables read their point values straight out of the scoring rules, so anything you see here is something that can actually happen to your team.
A round is one week and six games. Six teams play the first five on 6-start maps, then the four highest scorers — and only those four — play game 6, the BONUS game, on a 4-start map. This example follows one group of six through all of it.
Two things make the bonus game different. It pays on a steeper scale, 5 points for the win against 4, and it is the only game where bonuses and penalties exist at all. Games 1 to 5 are placement and nothing else.
Reading the tables: the Placement column is what finishing in that position pays, Bonus is everything earned or lost on top of it, and Total is the two added together. Hover a bonus pill to see the individual bonuses and penalties inside it.

Who Made the Cut
Where the group stood once the 6-start maps were done. The top four go through to the bonus game; the bottom two are finished for the round with whatever they have already banked.
Team C and Team E finish level on points, and only one of them fits. Ties are broken on damage given — total, across the whole round, not in any one game — so Team C goes through on the strength of five games' worth of damage that never earned it a single point directly. This is the one place damage decides something on its own, and it is worth knowing before you decide a lost game is not worth fighting.

What To Take From It
- Placement is nearly all of your score. A win pays 6 on a 6-start map and the biggest bonus is 1. Bonuses decide close rounds; they do not replace winning.
- Getting into the bonus game is the round's real objective. It is worth up to 6 points and the two teams that miss it score nothing more, whatever they do. The gap between 4th place and 5th in a regular game — one point against none — is often what decides it, and there are five games in which to give one away.
- The bonus game can cost you the round. Its penalties are -2 each and they stack, so a bad one wipes out more than a good regular game earns. A team that limps into it can leave worse off than the teams that never qualified.
- Damage is never worth points directly — but it is the tie-break when totals are level, and in the bonus game it decides both the best-ratios bonus and the least-damage penalty. Playing for the scoreboard and playing for the perm are not always the same thing.
