+A **pass** describes the completion of a [beatmap](/wiki/Beatmaps) with or without the use of mods, or the reaching of a break section with more than 50% [health](/wiki/Beatmapping/Health).

+# Total performance points
+
+The **total performance points**-value determines a player's [ranking](/wiki/Ranking) compared to other players. It is calculated based on a player's achieved scores, the [ppv2](/wiki/Performance_Points/Performance_Point_Systems/ppv2) performance point algorithm and the [weighting system](/wiki/Performance_Points/Weighting_System).
+
+The dedicated total performance points ranking for all players can be found on the [global leaderboards](https://osu.ppy.sh/rankings/osu/performance). It can also be navigated to by using the `Rankings` dropdown panel at the top of the osu!web listing and choosing the `Performance` option.
+
+A player's individual ranking can also be seen almost anywhere within the osu! game client.

+# Weighting system
+
+The **weighting system** determines a player's [total performance points](/wiki/Performance_Points/Total_Performance_Points) by weighting each individual [performance point](/wiki/Performance_Points) value against the others. The system then awards a proceedingly less amount for the best value, second best value, third best value, and so on. This ensures that a player has to improve their playing abilities to progress within the performance point system. For a more precise explanation see the following formula:
+
+`total pp = pp[1] * 0.95^0 + pp[2] * 0.95^1 + pp[3] * 0.95^2 + ... + pp[m] * 0.95^(m-1)`
+
+Explanation:
+
+- `pp` describes each score's individual pp value.
+- `pp[n]` describes the `n`-th score's pp value after scores have been sorted descendingly.
+- `n` ranges from 1 to `m` where `m` is defined as the amount of scores a player has.
+
+## Bonus pp
+
+The weighting system allows a player to gain up to 416.6667 bonus performance points for setting a large number of scores. The maximum amount is achieved at approximately 25397 total scores.

 The first performance score (abbreviated as **ppv1**) is an ancient ranking system for players globally across all modes from osu!. It replaced the old system of *ranking by total score* and was abandoned due to the implementation of [ppv2](..).

+# Ranking
+
+**Ranking** (alternatively called "leaderboards") is a list that sorts members of the osu! community according to certain criteria. This can also refer to one's position in such a list.
+
+osu! currently has five types of rankings:
+
+- Performance points ranking: based on [performance points](/wiki/Performance_points).
+- Score ranking: based on total ranked score.
+- Kudosu! ranking: based on [kudosu!](/wiki/Modding/Kudosu) count.
+- Spotlights rankings: based on [score](/wiki/Score) on the currently spotlighted beatmaps.
+- Beatmap rankings: based on score for individual [beatmaps](/wiki/Beatmaps).
+- Country rankings: based on performance points of players from a country.
+
+The performance points ranking, score ranking, and Kudosu! ranking can be navigated to by using the `Rankings` dropdown panel at the top of the webpage and choosing the `Performance` option.
+
+## Performance points ranking
+
+*Main page: [Performance points](/wiki/Performance_points)*
+
+The performance points ranking describes a player's skill-level in comparison to other players. This leaderboard is determined by the total number of performance points an individual player has, and can be seen on a player's profile and on the [performance leaderboards](https://osu.ppy.sh/rankings/osu/performance).
+
+## Score ranking
+
+Score ranking compares players' total score and lists them accordingly. Ranking highly on this leaderboard requires a large time commitment, but requires relatively less mechanical skill than the performance points ranking.
+
+## Kudosu! ranking
+
+Kudosu! ranking compares users' accumulated Kudosu and lists them accordingly. This ranking requires no playing skill as Kudosu! is gained as part of the [modding process](/wiki/Modding).
+
+## Spotlights rankings
+
+Spotlights rankings are time-limited leaderboards that compare players' skill on a specific set of beatmaps each spotlight season. Players who rank highly on spotlight rankings will receive specific awards as a result of their hard work.
+
+## Beatmap rankings
+
+The beatmap rankings compare players' scores against each other on individual beatmaps. They appear once a beatmap has been [Qualified](/wiki/Beatmaps#qualified), [Ranked](/wiki/Beatmaps#ranked), [Approved](/wiki/Beatmaps#approved) or Loved. First place rankings on these leaderboards can be seen on a user's profile page, and comes with a bit of prestige.

+# Recalculate slider lengths
+
+**Recalculate slider lengths** is a command under the `Timing` tab in the [beatmap editor](/wiki/Beatmap_Editor). Usage of this is suggested after a BPM change is made if the [beatmap](/wiki/Beatmaps) already has [sliders](/wiki/Hit_object/Slider).
+
+This command will automatically adjust the length of every slider in the beatmap to the new BPM. Although most creators recommended checking every slider and adjusting its length manually, due to this tool's inaccurate and systematic nature.

+# Resnap
+
+**Resnap** refers to a pair of commands under the `Timing` header in the [beatmap editor](/wiki/Beatmap_Editor). One of which applies to the entire [beatmap](/wiki/Beatmaps) and the other to the current timing section. If the beatmap has only one timing section, both commands are the same.
+
+This command will automatically reposition all [hit objects](/wiki/Hit_object) on the timeline so that they fall on the closest beat division that the snap divisor allows. Usage is suggested when there has been a change in offset and/or BPM, after objects have been placed. Many creators reccomend checking every hit object and adjusting its position on the [timeline](/wiki/Beatmap_Editor/Timelines) manually due to this tool's inaccurate and systematic nature.
