Points for time trails

How do you get points for time trails? And how does the points system work?

I happened to ask the same question on the discord

uhh this is the code on how it's calculated (credits to pianta)

function getScore(place,nPlaces) {
       if (place == 1)
               return 10;
       if (nPlaces == 2)
               return 0;
       var x = (place-2)/(nPlaces-2);
       return Math.round(8*Math.pow(1-x,4/3));
}

^^^^^^^ what this means is that your points are calculated based off your rank, and how many people have raced on that track

very complicated and is absolute buns

I think it should be obvious on how to get points tho

Thank you

So...

1st place always gets 10 pts
If you get last when there's only 2 scores, you get 0 points.
x is how badly you did, out of 1.
1-x is how well you did, out of 1.
To the 1 1/3 power means... to multiply 1-x by its cube root. (I think.)
Multiply that by 8 and round it...
That's your score.

If you get last place... x will be 1, and your score will be 0.

If you get 2nd out of anything (other than out of 2, of course) you get 8 cuz x = 0, 1-x == 1.

If you get 3rd out of 102...
1-x will be 97 / 98.
Roots of a number will be closer to 1 than that number, so the exponent will be slightly less than 1.
7 or 8 points, I'm too lazy to calculate precisely

Thanks

So the max is 560.

This is slightly off topic but whenever I try to grind for a bit and I get a really good pb, most of the time its still at 7 points when I wanted it to be 8 and I'm like HOW IS IT STILL 7 POINTS!?!?!?!?
