Field notes
The scoring combines distance accuracy with increasing round weights, and the page says the shared daily set refreshes at midnight in each player's local time. It also offers practice and challenge links; account creation is described as email-free, with a warning that passwords cannot be reset. The page credits George Barker and lists NASA Blue Marble and Sentinel-2 cloudless imagery.
