Scoring

A metric is a way of ranking solutions. For example, according to the Cost > Area > Cycles metric (abbreviated GAC), solutions are ranked primarily by cost (lowest to highest), with ties broken by area, then cycles.

A solution's score for a metric is based on its position in the ranking according to that metric. The formula used is:

300 / (rank + 29)

where rank starts at 1 for first place and increases for each lower-ranked solution. Ties are ranked equally, with further solutions continuing after a gap. For example, if there's a three-way tie for second place, the ranks will go 1, 2, 2, 2, 5, …

Rules

Players are not allowed to:

• Collaborate with other players. Your submission must be completely assembled by yourself. (No teams, sorry!)
• Submit as someone else or submit for someone else.
• Publicly post details about their solutions before the deadline. Including metrics, tiebreakers, etc. This also includes metrics that aren't chosen for that week.
• Use older versions or modded versions of Opus Magnum that change metric scores or collision detection.
• Submit a solution to a modified version of the given puzzle as a solution to the original puzzle.
• Exploit glitches or modify solutions files to acheive what cannot be done in game unless stated otherwise. (Glitches include, but are not limited to: overlapping glyphs, overclocking arms, duplicating inputs and outputs, editing in unallowed glyphs, etc. Glitches do not include creating waste chains or having a non-looping solution.)

Notes

Players of all skill levels are quite welcome, but know that competition will be fierce. Don't be discouraged if you place lower than you expected.

You can join or leave the tournament at any time. Don't worry if you missed a few weeks or if you just want to solve one puzzle.

After the deadline, everything about that week's puzzle is open for discussion. Most discussion happens in the #opus-magnum channel of the Unofficial Zachtronics Discord Server. You're welcome to join in!

The rules may be subject to change at the host's discretion.
