Placement Points
You define the exact points for each finishing position, as an array. Everything past the array scores the default.
configurable points array by position
Best at
Racing-style free-for-all where you want precise control of the curve.
Where it misleads
Free-for-all only, and the curve is only as sensible as the numbers you picked.
How it works
Placement Points (configurable) lets you define exact point values for each finishing position. Unlike the simple variant, you control the distribution.
How it works: Define an array of points by place: e.g., [10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]. 1st place gets 10, 2nd gets 8, etc. Any position beyond the array gets a configurable default (usually 0).
When to use it: When you want precise control over the point curve. Maybe you want a steeper drop-off than linear, or you want to cap points at a certain position.
Watch out for: Only works for FFA matches (3+ players). The point values need to be chosen thoughtfully to create the competitive dynamics you want.
