Notes on Matchups & Ranges
Each category has a minimum difference required between players. The number line spans from 0 to the category’s maximum allowed difference; the shaded invalid zone marks gaps below the minimum.
The bullseye band is centered in your range and is narrower than your range. Land the true difference inside it to earn the +100 bonus.
