Clearing the sky comes first

Everyone who clears the sky ranks above everyone who does not, whatever their scores. Within each group, the highest score ranks first. A player who clears the sky finishes ahead of a player who does not, even with a lower score.

The time bonus

• The clear bonus and the time bonus go only to players who clear the sky.
• Time left is measured to the millisecond, and the bonus is rounded down to a whole point.
• Faster clearers almost always outscore slower ones, so exact ties are rare.

Tips

• Watch the queues and the counts above each column. A column left behind can cost you the clear.
• Specials charge the meter, so bigger matches pay twice: once for the stars, and again toward the stamp.

Scoring and ranking are done by our servers, which replay your moves against the tournament's sky. See the Zodix section of our Fairness of Play disclosures.
