sharing it

+0.58

contest tax

Fragile when shared — scout before you commit, and have a pivot ready.

Counts lobbies where another player finished on this same comp (70 boards). Players contested off the line before level 7 never show up here, so the real cost of forcing a contested comp is higher than this number.
