📖 Overview
Use this tool to estimate leaderboard outcomes when bonus rounds are in play.
⚙️ How It Works
This projects total score including periodic bonus points awarded every N rounds.
The Formula
Total = (Rounds × Base Points) + (FLOOR(Rounds ÷ Bonus Frequency) × Bonus Points)
💡Bonus frequency has a multiplicative effect on total score. Comparing strategies before a tournament can reveal which pacing approach maximises projected points.
Quick Reference
| Rounds | 10 base, bonus 50 every 5 | 20 base, bonus 100 every 10 | 15 base, bonus 75 every 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 rounds | 100 + 100 = 200 | 200 + 100 = 300 | 150 + 225 = 375 |
| 20 rounds | 200 + 200 = 400 | 400 + 200 = 600 | 300 + 450 = 750 |
| 50 rounds | 500 + 500 = 1,000 | 1,000 + 500 = 1,500 | 750 + 1,125 = 1,875 |
Practical Tips
💡 Set realistic base points per round from recent sessions.
💡 Test different bonus frequencies for scenario planning.
