Runoff scales could be considered a type of [[omniconsonant scale]], or at least a distant cousin to omniconsonant scales.

Calling a scale 'runoff' or 'non-runoff' only really makes sense if its largest step size is at least 25 [[cents]]: when all steps are smaller than that, every feature of the harmonic entropy graph is carpeted by notes, and the ''median'' entropy becomes about the same for every scale.
