What happens if your score is 0?

Looking at the scoreboard, last place has a score of 35. What happens when it gets lower? Lets say he has a score of 5, and he looses a game and looses 20 points, does his score go negative? Does winner still get 20 points?

The amount of points you lose is (pointsLoser/pointsWinner)*20, so in order to lose your last point your opponent needs to have 20 points. I don't know what happens when you let 2 of those pointdumpers play against eachother when one of them can fall below 0, but I'm pretty sure it's capped at 1 minimum.

I'll admit to not being the best at this game but how does one achieve a 4% win ratio? Even with my meager skills I can't fathom that.

What would be interesting is if somebody with a score around 5 wins a game,say against somebody with a score of 1,000? Except for the cap could win

1,000 X 20 = 4,000 points?
5
The points to be awarded is calculated as (loser's score / winner's score) * 20, up to a maximum of 100 points from each opponent.


And even with the 100 point cap from each opponent, in a multiplayer game with 11 opponents a player could pick up 1,100 points?

The largest amount of points you can take from a player in a single game is capped at 100. So, 700 used to be the absolute maximum point gain, now it's 1100.

Not true Pete. What if the dude won a Battle Royale with 52 players? Then that fool would gain 5100 points
