Scoring & awards

Total contribution = record + proof + breakthrough + special-contribution points.

Record points+1

Awarded for each non-trivial current record held. These points follow the record when it changes hands.

Proof points+2

An adopted, reviewed proof or key proof idea earns one permanent award per contributor and proof contribution. Multiple cases, additions and rewrites of the same idea do not earn extra points.

Breakthrough points+3

A manually verified advance beyond the external best known earns a permanent award once per player and sub-problem, even after it is surpassed.

Special-contribution pointsBy review

Important debugging, data corrections and other special contributions receive individually reviewed and published permanent awards.
