### Time-Based Boost Decay
88+
89+
Some competitions have time-based boost decay enabled. When enabled, the value of boosts decreases as
90+
time progresses. This is represented by the following geometric function:
91+
92+
```math
93+
\text{decay factor} = r^{d - 1}, r \in (0, 1]
94+
```
95+
96+
where `r` is the rate of the decay, usually `0.5`, and `d` is the number of days that have passed
97+
since the boosting period started.
98+
99+
Here's an example of how a boost amount of 100 decreases when applied on different days with a decay
100+
factor of 0.5.
101+
102+
| Day | Decay factor | Effective boost (100 base) |
103+
| --- | --- | --- |
104+
| 1 | 1 | 100 |
105+
| 2 | 0.5 | 50 |
