Calculation of Final Kill Count

The system calculates a player's final kill count using the following formula:

Final Kills = Base Kills + Manu Chao + Definitive Match Bonus - Open Vidrios - Pasteleiras

Where:

  • Base Kills: The raw number of eliminations a player achieved
  • Manu Chao: +1 kill for performing the Manu Chao ritual (in person)
  • Definitive Match Bonus: +1 kill for winning the final match of the day
  • Open Vidrios: -1 kill penalty
  • Pasteleiras: -3 kills penalty

Example: If a player has 10 base kills, did a Manu Chao (+1), won the final match (+1), opened the vidrios once (-1), and didn't open the Pasteleiras, their final kill count would be: 10 + 1 + 1 - 1 - 0 = 11 kills
