# Competitive Scoring Rules
|
|
|
|
This document explains how the competitive scoring system works in OpenFront team matches. It is intended for tournament hosts, players, and casters.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## How to Enable
|
|
|
|
In a **private lobby**, toggle **"Competitive Scoring"** in the options section. This option only appears when the game mode is set to Teams.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
Each match awards up to **100 points** per team, split across three categories:
|
|
|
|
| Category | Max Points | What It Measures |
|
|
| --------------- | ---------- | ------------------------------------------ |
|
|
| Max Tiles | 60 | Peak map control during the match |
|
|
| Crown Time | 30 | How long your team held the most territory |
|
|
| Final Placement | 10 | How long your team survived |
|
|
|
|
The team with the most total points finishes **#1 on the competitive scoreboard**.
|
|
|
|
The actual game winner is still determined by normal game win conditions (territory threshold / timer), so the match winner and competitive #1 can differ.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Category Breakdown
|
|
|
|
### 1. Max Tiles (60 points)
|
|
|
|
This is the **highest percentage of the map your team controlled at any point** during the match. It does not matter if you lose that territory later — only your peak matters.
|
|
|
|
Teams are ranked by their peak tile percentage, and points are awarded by rank.
|
|
|
|
### 2. Crown Time (30 points)
|
|
|
|
The **Crown** belongs to whichever team currently controls the most tiles on the map. All members of the crowned team display a crown icon.
|
|
|
|
Crown Time tracks how long your team held the crown during the match, as a ratio of total game time. A team that held the crown for half the match has a crown ratio of 50%.
|
|
|
|
Teams are ranked by their crown ratio, and points are awarded by rank.
|
|
|
|
**Attacking the crown team grants a 25% troop bonus**, encouraging teams to contest the leading team rather than expand passively.
|
|
|
|
### 3. Final Placement (10 points)
|
|
|
|
This is based on elimination order.
|
|
|
|
- Teams that are eliminated earlier place lower.
|
|
- If multiple teams are still alive when the game ends, those surviving teams are ordered by their **current tile count at game end** (higher tiles = better placement).
|
|
|
|
Only the top 5 teams receive placement points.

## Tie-Breaking
|
|
|
|
If two or more teams have the same value in a category (e.g., identical peak tile percentage), they share the better rank and both receive the same points. The next rank is skipped.
|
|
|
|
**Example:** If two teams tie for 1st in Crown Time, both receive 30 points. The next team gets 3rd place (24 points), not 2nd.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## How the Crown Works
|
|
|
|
- The crown is assigned to the **team** with the highest total tile count (not individual players).
|
|
- Bot team does not count toward competitive crown/score metrics.
|
|
- **All members** of the crowned team display the crown icon, making the leading team highly visible.
|
|
- The crown updates throughout the match as territory changes hands.
|
|
- Crown time only counts during active gameplay (not during spawn phase).
|
|

## In-Game UI
|
|
|
|
### During the Match
|
|
|
|
The **Team Stats panel** has three views you can cycle through:
|
|
|
|
1. **Control** — Current tile %, gold, max troops
|
|
2. **Units** — Launchers, SAMs, warships, cities
|
|
3. **Competitive** — Current tile %, peak tile %, crown time
|
|
|
|
In the current UI, crown time is shown in the **Competitive** view.
|
|
|
|
### At Match End
|
|
|
|
When competitive scoring is enabled, the **win screen** displays a score breakdown table showing each team's points in all three categories and their total score.
|

## Example Scenario
|
|
|
|
A Trios match with 4 teams ends with these results:
|
|
|
|
| Team | Peak Tiles | Crown Ratio | Eliminated |
|
|
| ------ | ---------- | ----------- | -------------- |
|
|
| Red | 35% | 45% | Winner |
|
|
| Blue | 28% | 30% | 3rd eliminated |
|
|
| Teal | 22% | 20% | 2nd eliminated |
|
|
| Purple | 18% | 5% | 1st eliminated |
|
|
|
|
**Scoring:**
|
|
|
|
| Team | Tiles Pts | Crown Pts | Place Pts | Total |
|
|
| ------ | --------- | --------- | --------- | ------- |
|
|
| Red | 60 | 30 | 10 | **100** |
|
|
| Blue | 54 | 27 | 6 | **87** |
|
|
| Teal | 48 | 24 | 4 | **76** |
|
|
| Purple | 42 | 21 | 2 | **65** |
|
|
|
|
Red dominated all categories. But consider a different scenario where Blue held the crown longer than Red:
|
|
|
|
| Team | Peak Tiles | Crown Ratio | Eliminated |
|
|
| ------ | ---------- | ----------- | -------------- |
|
|
| Red | 35% | 15% | Winner |
|
|
| Blue | 28% | 50% | 3rd eliminated |
|
|
| Teal | 22% | 30% | 2nd eliminated |
|
|
| Purple | 18% | 5% | 1st eliminated |
|
|
|
|
| Team | Tiles Pts | Crown Pts | Place Pts | Total |
|
|
| ------ | --------- | --------- | --------- | ------ |
|
|
| Red | 60 | 24 | 10 | **94** |
|
|
| Blue | 54 | 30 | 6 | **90** |
|
|
| Teal | 48 | 27 | 4 | **79** |
|
|
| Purple | 42 | 21 | 2 | **65** |
|
|
|
|
Here Blue nearly catches Red despite losing the match, because Blue held the crown for much longer. This rewards sustained dominance, not just final snowball.
|
|
|

|
## Why This System?
|
|
|
|
The old system scored teams only on Max Tiles Owned (peak map control). This meant:
|
|
|
|
- Early aggression was disproportionately rewarded
|
|
- Once a team peaked, the match scoring was effectively decided
|
|
- There was no incentive to contest the crown or coordinate attacks on the leading team
|
|
- Comebacks were strategically meaningless
|
|
|
|
The multi-metric system fixes this by making three different skills matter:
|
|
|
|
- **Max Tiles** rewards macro expansion and map control
|
|
- **Crown Time** rewards sustained dominance and encourages teams to contest the leader
|
|
- **Final Placement** rewards survival and makes late-game play meaningful
