About this converter
Mario Kart Grand Prix pays 15 down to 1 point per race by placement. First takes 15, second 12, third 10, fourth 9, fifth 8, sixth 7, seventh 6, eighth 5, ninth 4, tenth 3, eleventh 2 and twelfth 1. That makes one first equal fifteen twelfths. Four race cups total these rows, so a perfect cup pays 60 and four twelfths pay 4.
How to use it
Pick two placements and a unit in the top row, for example 1st and 12th. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds races of the first placement, one holds races of the second, one holds total points. Try 1 first place against twelfths.
Versus and battle modes score differently off page. Blank tiebreak rows sit out since points decide most ties first. Nintendo championship rules use the same 150cc table. Cups total four races, so perfect scores reach 60 while last place totals 4. Battle mode uses separate scoring off page. Team races sum six drivers per side off page, so rows pin solo Grand Prix only for clean math. All set.
