 === Repeating Challenge Points ===
-With the push to have consistent point values for challenges of similar difficulty, challenges increased their point rewards across the board. Along with this change came the creation of Daily Points, a reward for challenges with changing map sets based on time (i.e. the Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Challenges).

Along with this change came the creation of Daily Points, a reward for challenges with changing map sets based on time (i.e. the Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Challenges). Each instance, or rotation, of reoccurring challenges calculates the point reward by adding together the total FFA Points of the maps in the set.

Speedrun Score is similar to FFA Points, except the score is based on leaderboard placement for how fast a player beats maps. Speedrun Score is only awarded for maps in [[FFA]] and [[FFA+]].

 *Before FFA Point totals were based on maps completed, they added to the player's total points with no other checks. This led to funny situations like [https://forums.minr.org/threads/top-55-maze-point-scorers-of-all-time.1843/ this post], where admins could get far larger quantities of points than was possible since commands could set a player's point total in the past.

 Achieving 20 points for the first time will let you gain access to the [[Blue]] rank, and therefore [[Hardcore]] with this style. This eventually transitioned into the Modern Style with the realization that a new system needed to be developed for the drastic increase in the skill gap between new and old players.
