Range score

How closely a range you painted matches the chart, weighted by combos, from 0% to 100%.

What it means
In Build the range you paint an opening range from memory. The range score compares your painting with the chart cell by cell.
How it is calculated
Each hand counts by its combos: 6 for a pair, 4 for a suited hand and 12 for an offsuit hand. The error is the combos you added or left out, with a hand the chart plays half the time counting half. The score is 1 − error ÷ combos in either range, so folding the right hands earns nothing on its own.
Worked example
The chart plays AA and AKs, and AKo half the time: 6 + 4 + 6 = 16 combos. You paint all three, 22 combos. The error is the 6 extra AKo combos, so the score is 1 − 6 ÷ 22, about 73%.
Why it matters
Single-hand drills test one cell at a time. Painting the whole range tests its shape, which is what you carry to the table.
