Algosize Bounty Scoring System

Our gamification system ranks hackers based on their performance across several key metrics: number of bounties won, sum of bounty rewards, problem complexity, and community participation on Discord. Here’s how it works:

—

Scoring Criteria

1. Number of Bounties Won (30% of total score) -Each bounty successfully claimed adds to the hacker’s score. The more bounties won, the higher the ranking.

   -Scoring:

   -1-5 bounties: 10 points per bounty

   -6-10 bounties: 15 points per bounty

   -11+ bounties: 20 points per bounty
   
   

2. Sum of Bounties Earned (40% of total score)
   -The total monetary value of bounties collected influences the ranking, incentivizing high-value bounty wins. This scoring system offers greater rewards for higher sums.

   -Scoring: -$0 - $5,000: 2 points per $100 earned

   -$5,001 - $20,000: 4 points per $100 earned

   -$20,001+: 6 points per $100 earned
   
   

3. Problem Complexity (30% of total score)
   • Bounties are classified into different levels of complexity. Hackers tackling more complex challenges will earn higher points.

   -Scoring: -Low complexity: 50 points

   -Medium complexity: 100 points

   -High complexity: 200 points
   
   

4. Community Participation on Discord (Bonus Points)

   -#dev-chats: Providing valuable support and guidance on development-related questions or discussions.

   -Scoring: Each useful contribution: 3 points (as determined by team moderators)

   -#code-reviews: Reviewing and providing useful feedback on code shared by fellow hackers.

   -Scoring: Each approved review: 5 points (as deemed valuable by team moderators)
   
   

Rankings & Bonuses

-Leaderboard: Hackers are ranked based on their cumulative score from all criteria.

-Bonus Multiplier: Winning a hackathon or high-tier challenge grants a 1.5x multiplier on the sum of bounties and complexity points for that event.

Example Calculation

If a hacker wins 8 bounties totaling $12,000, 3 of which were high complexity, and provides 3 useful contributions on #dev-chats and 2 approved code reviews on #code-reviews, here’s how their score is calculated:

-Number of Bounties: 8 bounties = 15 points x 8 = 120 points

-Sum of Bounties:
-First $5,000 = $5,000 x 2 points per $100 = 100 points

-Remaining $7,000 = $7,000 x 4 points per $100 = 280 points

-Total from Sum of Bounties = 100 + 280 = 380 points -Problem Complexity: 3 high complexity bounties = 200 points x 3 = 600 points -Community Participation:
-3 useful contributions on #dev-chats = 3 points x 3 = 9 points

-2 approved code reviews on #code-reviews = 5 points x 2 = 10 points

Total Score = 120 + 380 + 600 + 9 + 10 = 1,119 points
