Guideline games have a somewhat loosely defined score chart.
Modern Tetris games follow the same basic pattern with minor differences (notably in PC scoring).

There are some key differences between Score Chart and Attack Chart.
Notably in score-based modes T-Spins and PCs are rewarded more for their complexity relatively to Tetrises.

In terms of attack, Tetris is typically equal to TSD (4 lines sent).

In terms of score, Tetris is typically only equal to TSS (800 points).

Additionally, you need to play four times more lines to perform a Tetris, making it inefficient.
However, there are still situations where Tetris line clears are efficient in combination with T-Spins due to bag structure.

Optimal strategy depends on game's implementation.
In practical scenarios player has to take into account not only PPB (Point Per Brick), but also factors such as slow softdrop in Guideline games.

It is strongly recommended to study Score Chart to understand which stacking styles are efficient (hint: it's not 1w).

Score Charts/Attack Charts

Line Clear Score/Attack

(jump to top)

T-Spin Score/Attack

T-Spin score replaces normal Line Clear score.
e.g.: You do a non-b2b TSD in jstris Ultra. You receive 1200 points (1200 for TSD, the 300 for Double is ignored)

(jump to top)

Perfect Clear Score/Attack

PC score is added to any Line Clear score.
e.g.: You complete a PC with a non-combo Double line clear in jstris Ultra. You receive 300 + 3000 = 3300 points (300 for Double + 3000 for PC).

PC attack is added to any Line Clear attack*.

* In jstris, the last piece in a PC only sends the 10 lines from PC and none of the regular Line Clear attacks are sent.
Therefore it's actually best to clear as few lines as possible in and avoid Tetris PCs in jstris VS.

PPT has a bug where if your line clear increases level, level multiplier is awarded not for current level at the time of line clear, but for the next level after line clear.
e.g.: You complete a 10L PC with a non-b2b Tetris solve on Level 1 in PPT Ultra. You receive 1 * 800 + 2 * 2000 = 800 + 4000 = 4800 points (1 * 800 for Tetris on Level 1 + 2 * 2000 for Tetris PC on Level 2, but that is a bug, it should be 1 * 2000 for Tetris PC on Level 1 since you did the PC on Level 1).

Combo Score/Attack

Combo score/attack* is added to any Line Clear score.
e.g.: You do three Single line clears with a Combo x2 in jstris Ultra. You receive 100 + (100 + 50) + (100 + 100) = 100 + 150 + 200 = 450 points (100 for first Single + 100 for second Single + 50 for Combo x1 + 100 for third Single + 100 for Combo x2) for the sequence.

* In TETR.IO Combo Multiplier mechanic is used instead. See Game-specific Attack Charts section.

* Assuming Single line clears.

Drop Score

Drop score is added to current score regardless of lines being clear.

You receive points for every line the piece dropped by the drop action.
e.g.: You hard drop a piece 18 lines as soon as it's placed in jstris Ultra. You receive 2 * 18 = 36 points.

In theory this can lead to infinite score by alternating soft drop and a kick that moves the piece upward.
All modern games have stall countermeasures in place.

Score/Attack Modifiers

Back-to-Back (B2B)

B2B usually increases Tetris/T-Spin score by 50%.
B2B usually increases Tetris/T-Spin attack by 1 extra line.

See respective Score sections for details.

B2B Chaining

In TETR.IO, there is no B2B Chaining for score. B2B Chain only gives the basic B2B bonus of 50% score.

T-Spin Mini

TSM/TSMS typically adds 100 points.
B2B TSMS typically adds 1 extra line (from the B2B bonus).

See respective Score sections for details.

Level Multiplier

In games with increasing Level, Level Multiplier is applied by multiplying (duh) Score of any scoring event by current Level.
e.g.: On Level 2 you receive 2* the points.

Combo Multiplier

In TETR.IO, there is no Combo Multiplier for score. Combo only gives the standard points for all scoring events.

Game-specific Attack Charts

TETR.IO Attack Chart

TETR.IO uses different Attack calculation mechanics from Guideline games.
Rather than having fixed Attack values, individual attacks have assigned weight, B2B level is added to this weight and the aggregate is then multiplied by combo multiplier.
Non-integer values are rounded down.

TETR.IO attack = (Attack Weight + B2B level) * Combo Multiplier

Attack weights are as follows:

Combo Multipliers are as follows:

B2B bonuses are as follows:
