POINTS, EXPLAINED
From a song choice to the standings.
The host ranks songs instead of assigning arbitrary scores. Your position determines your round points; published rounds add up to the battle total. Here is how to read that calculation without mixing it up with quizzes or your profile progress.
One host, one fewer competing song
With N players fixed at the start of the battle, one hosts each round and the remaining N−1 players can submit a song. The first song receives N−1 points, the second N−2, and so on down to 1 when every expected song is present. The host gets 0 for that round. Their example song helps explain the rule and never competes.
| Players | Competing songs | Points by position | Host |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 2 | 2 · 1 | 0 |
| 4 | 3 | 3 · 2 · 1 | 0 |
| 6 | 5 | 5 · 4 · 3 · 2 · 1 | 0 |
| 14 | 13 | 13 · 12 · 11 · 10 · 9 · 8 · 7 · 6 · 5 · 4 · 3 · 2 · 1 | 0 |
These examples are generated with the same points function used by the game. A 14-player battle has 13 possible competing songs, not 14.
An example across two rounds
Imagine four fictional players. Vera hosts round one: Nico earns 3, Teo 2 and Lía 1, while Vera gets 0. In round two Lía hosts: Vera earns 3, Nico 2 and Teo 1. The totals become Nico 5, Teo 3, Vera 3 and Lía 1. Teo and Vera have the same total; adding their points alone does not tell you the tie-break order. The real game applies its standings rules.
A hosting zero is part of the rotation, not a penalty. Each player gets a turn to host during the battle. Compare the full set of published rounds rather than treating one hosting week as a poor performance.
Change the first round yourself in the demo →Missing entries and missed deadlines
The table above assumes a complete round. A player who does not submit a song does not earn song points, and an automatic penalty can also affect the total. The host also has deadlines to configure the rule and publish the verdict, with the configured grace period. Those adjustments are recorded separately; do not try to reconstruct an incomplete round by treating the visible songs as a new, smaller group.
If a total surprises you, check the published round results, who hosted, whether a submission was missing and any recorded penalties. A pending round is not the same as a published result.
Four counters with different jobs
- Battle points
- The competition total inside one group, from published song results and applicable adjustments.
- Quiz Points
- Results from the question game. A quiz win does not add points to your group’s music battle.
- Track Points
- Your profile’s progress across activities. They are distinct from the standings in a particular battle.
- Beats
- The game’s internal currency for enabled features. They are not a song-ranking score.
Keeping these counters separate lets you enjoy a quiz between rounds without changing the outcome of your group’s song competition.
