| Dec 18, 2023 at 15:38 | comment | added | Hearth | Note that the scoring is different in different entries in the series; prior to mario kart 8, you couldn't even have 12-person races, with 8 being the maximum. | |
| Dec 18, 2023 at 14:54 | comment | added | juicifer | @Retudin there are never more than 12 competitors in a race | |

| Dec 18, 2023 at 12:05 | comment | added | Benjamin Wang | Indeed, like @Retudin asked: can we tie for last (or any other) place? or only for first place? | |
| Dec 18, 2023 at 9:51 | comment | added | Retudin | What for x>12 - 0 points? or is that not allowed. "12 is trivially impossible" suggest all players should tie, is this the intent. If not: Are we talking a tie for first place, or is any tie allowed (I get to a 22-way tie for last place, even infinite for scoring 0, but assume that is not what you want) | |
