Tbh I didnt know waht pp was when I got to 350 pp or somthing .. Then what I learned was you get them from the maps you play and the more diffucult the more pp ...
I just dont get 1 thing...
lets say I weighted 12 pp doesnt it add exactly to my pp ? cause I had 611 pp and I played a map that weighted 12 pp but my score increased to 613 ? I thought that ıt would go up to 623 ... I just want to learn that doesnt it add exactly ?? (the map I played was never played before from me .. so it was a new map)
I read this page too but still didnt get it ??

you didnt get exactly that much because all your other scores became worth a bit less

Could you explain this a bit more in depth...does my other scores become more worthless?

you didnt get exactly that much because all your other scores below that one became worth a bit less; a lower % of them is weighted after you achieve a score that goes above them.

You only gain 100% pp from your top play

Every play under that contributes less PP towards your total.

If I got a 200pp score I'd probably only gain about 10 net PP because I have several scores higher than 200pp and it would push other scores off my list and it would be such that I'd earn only 10 because I'm only earning a percentage.

simple example:
lets say only the first 3 are weighted. Its actually all of them, but around 100th its going to less than 1% weight.For the objective of simplification lets use just the first 3 (and 4th and next give almost nothing)
1. 100pp x 100% = 100
2. 90pp x 95% = 85.5
3. 80pp x 90% = 72
overall = 100+85.5+72=257.5

And now if you get score of 110pp the result will be:
1. 110pp x 100% = 100
2. 100pp x 95% = 95
3. 90pp x 90% = 81
overall = 100+95+81=276

As you can see now 100pp one give 95 instead of 100, the 90pp one give 81 instead of 85.5 and so on...
So the reason you don't get the full points from the new weighted score its because ALL of the scores after it, now are weighted for less than before.

How did you do the colour gradient? surely you didn't do it manually ._.
