04 / Score & rankings

Two Groups. Two Leaderboards.

Your best result from each level contributes to your overall season score.

Visitor Group

Signed-in players who are not using a connected DarkBeacon device.

Device Group

Signed-in players with a DarkBeacon device connected.

Both groups have independent top-100 rankings. You may appear in both groups if you qualify for both during the season.

How ranking works
  • Season score: Sum of your highest recorded score for each of the 10 levels—not your best single run.
  • Tie-break: If totals are equal, the player who reached that score first ranks higher.
  • Practice: Free Practice results are excluded from the rankings.
  • Updates: Leaderboards refresh every 10 minutes.
  • Integrity: Scripts, macros and other detected irregular scoring may lead to loss of Season 2 prize eligibility.
