About this converter
The Guideline prices every clear in Single units. A Single pays 100 points, a Double 300, a Triple 500 and a Tetris 800. T-Spins jump the queue with Single at 800, Double at 1,200 and Triple at 1,600, so one T-Spin Triple equals two Tetrises or sixteen Singles. Drops pay pocket change at 1 point per soft drop cell and 2 per hard drop cell, which means one Single equals one hundred soft drops. Combo steps pay 50 times the chain. Every value here is the base Guideline number before the level multiplier.
How to use it
Pick two scores and the unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked: one holds a count of the first, one the matching count of the second, one the total in points. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 T-Spin Triple against Singles.
Level multiplies every row, so level 9 pays nine times this table. Back to back Tetrises pay 1.5 times and stay out as a multiplier, not a score. Sprint forty lines races reward Tetrises over T-Spins for raw speed. Perfect clear bonuses differ by game and stay out too.
