Build a Plain-Language Score Map
List every action that adds points, any value that changes by category and the conditions that make a result count. Include weighted rounds or best-result rules. Put a small example beside each unusual line; working through one calculation early is faster than trying to decode the table after the event.
Apply Multipliers, Caps and Penalties Correctly
Check the order of operations in the published rules. A multiplier may apply before a category cap, while a penalty may be removed from the final total. Follow the stated rounding method and keep intermediate figures. The same raw activity can produce a different score when the order changes.
Track Categories, Not Only the Headline Total
Open the detailed breakdown at natural breaks and compare each category with your score map. A capped section will stop adding points even when activity continues, and a pending round may be absent temporarily. Avoid chasing live rank until the underlying totals are settled.
Use Tie-Breaks in Published Order
When totals are equal, apply the first tie-break rule and continue only if the accounts remain level. Common criteria include best round, earliest qualifying result or fewer penalties. Do not average several rules together or assume the latest leaderboard position explains which criterion was used.
Audit the Final Result With One Calculation
After LL777 marks the event final, compare the event ID, category values, multipliers, caps, penalties and tie-break with the account screen. If one line differs, show the expected calculation and attach a readable result screenshot. A focused scoring question is much easier for support to verify.
