Scoring Mechanics
Scoring on the BlueYard Labs Leaderboard is crafted to recognize effort and skill across various lab challenges. Here's how it functions:
Active Lab Points Allocation
Easy Labs: Completing an easy lab earns you 25 points, acknowledging the foundational skills you’ve applied.
Medium Labs: Tackle a medium lab and receive 50 points as a nod to the increased complexity.
Hard Labs: Conquer a hard lab to gain a substantial 100 points, rewarding your advanced problem-solving abilities.
Points are distributed based on the lab's inherent difficulty, and the number of correctly answered questions.
Impact of Lab Retirement on Scoring
When a lab transitions to retired status, two immediate changes affect the scoring:
Point Value Reset: The retired lab's point value is reset to zero, reflecting its shift from an active, competitive environment to a learning-focused resource.
Score Adjustment: Participants who have previously completed the lab while active will see a deduction in their overall score, corresponding to the points initially earned from that lab. This ensures the leaderboard remains a current reflection of active engagement.
Time-based Leaderboards
The leaderboard is a live snapshot of user achievements, dynamically updating as users earn points from lab completions. Additionally, we maintain time-based leaderboards.
Weekly Leaderboard: This scoreboard resets every week and tracks the points users accumulate from active labs during that week. It's a fast-paced, dynamic leaderboard that showcases the most active and successful users in the short term.
Monthly Leaderboard: The monthly scoreboard offers a broader view, tracking the cumulative points users earn from active labs over the entire month. This scoreboard is ideal for recognizing consistent effort and skill over a longer period.
In instances where users have equal scores, the tie-breaker favors the user who first achieved that score.
