Yeah, it caps at 10k10 and (unfortunately) Jay hasn't adjusted the code so that each extra die increases the bonus to the roll (I think its +2 for each additional die rolled and +4 for each additional die kept.)

Raw score is what matters once you have at least 10 in each ring.

I have never been high enough in a skill to care about the way competitions were scored. I seppuku'd right after winter court (I was in the 50's and 60's for winter court) and didn't bother much with the topaz championship, or the competition at MWK.

This one though.... Well, I care a lot. I'm actually kicking myself for being so balanced with my points.

You rolled: 8 + 1 + 3 + 7 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 433 = 491 That's good for first place for now. ;D

Well, I'll enjoy my fifth place while it lasts....

So if you want a better shot at the mastery drop, you have around 5 hours before it gets a little tougher. =)
