Prior to October 2022, contest points were exclusive to the Monthly Beatmapping Contest and were named MBC points. With the introduction of the osu!taiko Featured Artist Cup #3, the points were renamed to contest points and have been repurposed to be used in other official mapping contests in order to provide a streamlined path to the Elite Mapper title.
As of January 2023, contest point eligibility has been outlined based on the points key. Points earned prior to this change will not be adjusted.
