Back in 2024, Cathadan built out a Gauntlet Scores Editor for draws imported from a start.gg event with a gauntlet-style phase. This was originally intended for Red October 2024’s Full Mode event, but this featured was ultimately not used and never fully built out beyond a proof of concept.
I think this feature has a viable use case for Redshift: Encore, and can be useful for formats where players play a shared set of songs/charts and are ranked by cumulative results.
The editor currently allows scores to be entered per entrant, per song/chart.
Proposed enhancements
- Improve table readability
- Add a Total Score column that sums each player’s entered machine scores
- Add a live Placement / Rank column that updates as scores are entered
- Add an optional points-awarded mode for gauntlet formats that score by placement per chart
- When points-awarded mode is enabled, add a Total Points column and rank by total points first, then total machine score as a tiebreaker
- Show a player's points award score similar to how head to head shows win counts on the drawing label and obs source
Points-awarded rule
The following point distribution has been used at multiple Pump it Up events, Mistake on the Lake 6 for DDR
Let N = number of players in the gauntlet.
1st = N + 1
2nd = N - 1
3rd = N - 2
4th = N - 3
Example:
4 players: 5, 3, 2, 1
6 players: 7, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
