COVID Challenge Scoring
Core Gameplay
The points below outline the actions that will be evaluated during the BEST Robotics Polycraft COVID Challenge. All actions have a maximum possible score beyond which repeated actions earn 0 points.

Bonus Points: Patient Waves
After activating the Clinic, patients will spawn in waves during dawn and dusk. Each wave lasts for 8500 ticks, about 7 minutes. Successful wave completion will provide bonus points in accordance to the chart below. To complete a wave, a target threshold of patients must remain healthy or be cured before the time runs out. Unsuccessful completion of the wave will not cause any harm; teams will be faced with the same size wave again and again until they complete it successfully.
