bonus
points stays the same as in past competitions:
- green level: 7 points
- white level: 5 points
- yellow level: 4 points
- blue level: 3 points
- orange level (25.00%-49.99% above green): 2 points
- orange level (50.00%-99.99% above green): 1 point
For levels
with an optimal solution of 20 moves or less, the amount of bonus
points is
different:
- green
level: 7 points
- 1 move
above green: 5 points
- 2 moves
above green: 4 points
- 3 or 4
moves above green: 3 points
- 5 to 9
moves above green: 2 points
- 10 to 19
moves above green: 1 point
Also, additional
bonus points are earned based on the total amount of solved levels:

This leads to
a maximum possible amount of bonus points of 500 for 48 green levels.
Additional rules:
In case of a tie on
moves, the level record will go to:
1) The tied player that would otherwise have zero records
2) The tied player with the least amount
of steps
3) The tied player with least records (more than zero)
4) The tied player who first sent in the solution
This competition is for
individual players only, no teams are allowed during the competition
time. After
the competition, teaming up is allowed of course. It is not allowed to
give any
hints to other players, such as telling scores (for levels or groups of
levels), discussing paths or talking about level features. Using
computer solvers is not allowed in any case, also not on level parts or
modified levels.
Designer
notes:
The average level will be longer than in past holiday competitions.
There is a
wide variety of difficulties. Don’t be frustrated if you can’t solve
every
level, a few of them are meant to be pretty difficult. On the other
side, there
are also a bunch of very easy levels.
I also
tried to include a wide variety of levels, so I think there will be
love and
hate levels for everyone ;-).
