Dodging Rain Competition
The Dodging Rain Competition (DRC) is a Touhou game competition that was devised by ZM and is held on the official DRC Discord. Two teams go up against each other in several different categories. Each player posts an arbitrarily long list of categories, ordered by preference, which can be either survival or scoring of any Touhou shooting game and any difficulty. They will be matched up against a player from the other team, in a category that both players had on their list. The teams and categories are determined by the DRC management team. Players are given two weeks to sign up for the competition, and once it starts, two weeks to submit a replay, which will be awarded points dependent on the rubrics. Runs done outside those two weeks are invalid. Players can submit an unlimited number of replays; the replay that is worth the most DRC points will count.
If you want to know how many DRC points a run is worth, the points for a given run can be determined using the calculator below.
Points Calculator
Scores can only contain digits, commas, dots and spaces. Survival runs are assumed to have cleared, scoring runs not.
Rules
- No cheating by using external programs or modifying the game FPS.
- Replays are required for Windows game submissions, while for PC-98 a video is accepted.
- All runs must be played using at most default lives and bombs.
Rubrics
The rubrics are the formulas and fixed values used to calculate the number of DRC points for a run. If you are curious about how your points are being determined, click the button below to expand.
Scoring Notes
- The World Records are taken from the WR page.
- If you achieve a new World Record, your points are equal to the maximum number of points; otherwise, the formula applies.
- Some categories use a fictional WR. Click here for the list of them.
- Some categories always use the WR of a specific shottype. Click here for the list of them.
- MoF uses a separate system. Click here for said system.
- DS uses a separate system. Click here for said system.
