Every time you compete in a competitive Moldy video, you'll get points! Unless you come last place (without tying with anyone), in which case you'll receive zero points.

This is because the points you get is based on your position and how many positions there are in total. For example, let's consider this (fictional) video ranking:

1. Sdslayer
2. MatMart
3. Androxma
4. JamAttack
5. Colon
6. Brad

Since this video has six total positions and Sdslayer placed first, then he gets 50 points because he beat five positions. MatMart gets 40, Androxma gets 30, and so on.

I say "positions" instead of "players" because in the case of team videos, an entire team counts as one position, even if it has multiple players. For example

Consider the rankings for my (this time real) Pirates video, for example:

1. Moldy

1. Sdslayer

1. Ender

1. Tap

2. MatMart

2. Looch

2. Androxma

2. Stallion

Moldy, Sdslayer, Ender, and Tap each get 10 points because their team came first out of two. Everyone else gets zero points because their team came second out of two (last place).

In the event of ties, your position is considered to be an average of the positions taken up by you and everyone you tied with. For example:

1. Sdslayer

2. MatMart

2. Androxma

4. JamAttack
5. Colon

For the purposes of the points calculation, MatMart and Androxma are considered to have tied for 2.5th place.

Disqualifications

If a player is marked as "voided" on a video, then it means that video will not be counted for them. This happens because they either had an unfair advantage which caused them to place abnormally high, or they had an unfair disadvantage which caused them to place abnormally low.

Explanations for disqualifications are usually specified on the respective video page.

Nerfs

Players who haven't been in many videos will have a nerf applied to their score. For example, consider Emnerson, who placed 2/9 in my third Hide and Seek video:

1. Ender
2. Emnerson
3. JamAttack
4. Sdslayer
5. MatMart
6. GeoBlitzy
7. Brad
8. Colon
9. Voxicat

Since he got second place and there were nine positions in total, he should get 70 points and be skyrocketed to the top of the leaderboard. However, since Emnerson has only ever been in this one competition, that would be very unfair for people who have been in more competitions. Instead, we consider this a fluke and nerf his score.

In specific, once you have faced 20 unique positions across all videos you're in, then your score will stop being nerfed.

Since Emnerson has only faced eight other positions, which is less than half of the 20 you need to have faced in order to not get nerfed, his final score is only 25 instead of 70.

Final Score

Your final score is a weighted average of your scores across all videos you were in. In particular, videos with more players are weighted higher than videos with fewer players.

This means getting first place in a video with 10 people will count more than getting first place in a video with three people.

However, this also means getting last place in a video with 10 people will hurt you way more than getting last place in a video with three people!
