buildr score is adjusted based on an average. everyones final total scores are averaged out, and if your subs placed you in the bottom percentile, you get a -1, people around average get 0, people above average get +1, people way above average get +2.

the only spading i have on this is that there was a low, single digit, average one round, and i had someone with a -14. the got a -1. so its safe to bumume, rule of thumb, that if you are about 20 below the average, you’ll get a -1. if ALL your submissions get -5, and you are using all your submissions, then you can expect to get more -1s till you suck less. even if there is a hard low-end cap (i should test that out,) which ET says there is, there is definitely a soft cap at two entries, which will never net you more than -10.
