+
+Scoring in lazer will use a system similar to ScoreV2, with all ScoreV1 scores converted into the new system.
+
+There are two interchangeable display modes for scores: *standardised* and *classic*. Standardised scoring limits score to a maximum of 1,000,000 points + bonus and score multipliers (similarly to ScoreV2), while classic scoring is the same as standardised, but scaled quadratically with the amount of hit objects in a beatmap (similar to ScoreV1). These can be selected from the settings, with all places were score is displayed in-game changing accordingly.

 Slider ends used to have the quirk of not breaking combo (and not causing a MISS judgement) if missed. This meant that an S play, which among other things requires zero MISS judgements, would look like a full combo even if some slider ends were missed. Various debates over whether such a play should be called an FC ensued.

-### Scoring, performance points and leaderboards
-
-Scoring in lazer has been simplified with the main benefit of not requiring a replay to recompute. Two interchangeable systems have been added: *standardised* and *classic*. Standardised scoring limits score to a maximum of 1,000,000 points + bonus and score multipliers, while classic scoring is similar to standardised, but scaled quadratically with the amount of hit objects in a beatmap. These can be selected from the settings, with all places were score is displayed in-game changing accordingly.
-
-There are also some differences in how much score each hit object and each judgement is responsible for relative to each other.
-
-Features that depend on score such as [score ranking](/wiki/Ranking#score-ranking) and [levels](/wiki/Gameplay/Score/Total_score#level) need further discussion for how they will be affected.
-
-Medals do not get awarded. This is a feature that will be enabled after anti-cheat measures have been implemented, and will need further consideration regarding the change in difficulty of some medals due to other gameplay changes.
-
-Performance points are not integrated into global or beatmap-specific leaderboards, but are instead integrated in a separate version of the website for now: <https://lazer.ppy.sh/>.
-
-### Multiplayer
-
-#### TAG co-op mode is not implemented
-
-This is planned, but no work has been started on this yet.
-
-### Storyboarding
-
-#### The storyboard editor is not implemented
-
-There are [designs](https://www.figma.com/file/ytnnne2TH8Z956Jxhiypqq/Beatmap-Editor-2) for an upcoming built-in storyboard editor similar to the one in stable, but no work on this has started yet.
-
-#### The trigger system is not implemented
-
-![](img/sb-triggers.gif)
-
-#### Beatmap backgrounds do not have the correct fill mode for 4:3 storyboards
-
-![](img/sb-bg-fill-mode.jpg)
-
-In stable, beatmap backgrounds and storyboards fill the height of the screen. In lazer, backgrounds fill the width of the screen, while storyboards still fill the height.
-
-This discrepancy causes inconsistent fill modes when a storyboard is overlayed on top of an already existing beatmap background.
-
-#### 4:3-only storyboards are not cropped to the intended aspect ratio
-
-![](img/sb-crop.jpg)
-
-Some storyboards are not designed to support anything other than a 4:3 aspect ratio, but storyboards in lazer always render at 16:9.
-
-## Some cosmetic features are missing
-
-These are features that are planned to come back at some point, but have not due to low priority.
