What The Board Checks First
This is a four-step board. If you skip one step and jump straight to badges, you are solving the wrong problem.
Step 1
Win state comes first
A finished win outranks a finished loss. No amount of extra badges or a faster clear time will rescue a loss over a win.
Stored as `2` for a win and `1` for a loss.Step 2
Floors break ties before badges
Among runs with the same win state, the board next checks how many map nodes were visited. A deeper run ranks higher before badge count even enters the conversation.
This is the part most players miss.Step 3
Badge count is third, not first
Badges still matter, but only after the board has already matched win state and floor count. More badges help only inside that narrower tie window.
The board counts obtained badge families, not score rarity.Step 4
Time is the final tiebreaker
When win state, floor count, and badge count all match, the faster run takes the higher slot. The board stores this in seconds and displays it as minutes and seconds.
Lower time wins the last comparison.
