The wiki states: “Every 15 minutes, the structures controlled by each world are totalled and added to that world’s cumulative score.”
So the obvious answer to my question would be that a server receives points according to the structures in his possession when the countdown reaches 0:00.

But someone told me that a server only gets the points let’s say for a tower if the server has had the tower in his possession for at least 3 minutes bevor the countdown reaches 0:00. So if a tower is flipped at 2:59 then no server will get any points for it.

I’ve also heard of another variation. Namely that the points will be given according to the structures in possession at 3:00 of the countdown.

So how does it really work? Is there an official statement?
The source of this information is supposed to be a post of a developer or maybe an update note. I did google quite a bit for it but couldn’t find anything. I would like a link to this source very much.

Hmm not sure about this.. I always thought as long as it was in the servers possession when the timer ticked 0 they got the points. I know there has been talk about taking structures over in time for the tick, this being after the 3 min mark.

I could be wrong though, so I suppose someone else could clarify.
