Worlds leaderboards
Each game keeps its own raw score. Overall points give every launched competition an equal share.
OVERALL LEADERBOARD
Every competition is worth up to 100 points.
A player's score in each game is divided by that game's maximum possible score, then converted to 100 Overall points. Missing an entry earns zero for that game.
Overall points = (your game score ÷ maximum game score) × 100
