Sportsmanship Scoring
Sportsmanship scoring is a combination of a checklist, a favorite opponent ranking, and a bad game points deduction.
-
20 Base Points:
-
Everyone starts with this score and will gain or lose points as they play games.
-
-
+0-20 Checklist Points:
- Each game you can get up to +4 Points.
-
This is a simple YES / NO checklist which everyone should be able to score perfectly. These are some of the common behaviors that make for a generally pleasant game that everyone should do.
-
+0-20 Favorite Opponent Points:
-
Each opponent can give you up to +4 Points.
-
Each player will be asked to rank their 3 favorite opponents.
-
1st = +4 Points
-
2nd = +2 Points
-
3rd = +1 Point
-

-
Bad Game Penalty:
-
If you really pissed-off your opponent due to some form of unsporting behavior they may choose to mark you as a "Bad Game". Getting a single Bad Game penalty is fairly minor, but if you get multiple the penalties become increasingly severe.
-
Players who mark their opponent as a Bad Game need to provide a valid reason for doing so. Sometimes the opponent simply doesn't realize they were causing a problem and they will be able to correct their behavior in the future once notified.
-
1st Bad Game = -5 Points
-
2nd Bad Game = -10 Points
-
3rd Bad Game = Sports Score of ZERO & the player is no longer eligible to win any awards
-
4th Bad Game = Removal from the tournament and possibly will be banned from future tournaments
-
YELLOW CARD = A Tournament Organizer may give an additional Bad Game penalty for bad behavior unrelated to the player's in-game sportsmanship. Players will be warned first (if possible) and then penalized if they do not correct their behavior
-
RED CARD = The Tournament Organizer can choose to eject a player from the event for serious violations. This includes, but is not limited to physical violence, purposefully damaging players' models, purposefully damaging the property belonging to the venue, being excessively argumentative towards the TO, or for excessive verbal abusive. The player may or may not get a warning first.

Overall Scoring
We are still discussing the best way to score Overall awards, so the info below may change based on the preferences by the players.
Overall is determined by adding the player's rank in the 3 scoring categories to get a "Rank Sum". The lower the sum of the player's ranks in Appearance, Sportsmanship, & Battle the better they do overall. The Battle rank is added twice, so that it comprises 50% of the final score while Sports and Paint are 25% each.
Example: A player places 1st in Battle Points, 3rd in Appearance, & 10th in Sportsmanship would get a score of (1x2 + 3 + 10 = 15).
A player can do pretty well if they excel in only 2 categories, but won't be able to get a top finish without being able to do excellent in all 3. The purpose being that the Overall score should be a true representation of your abilities in every category. It also allows for a more nuanced scoring system to be created for each category to get better separation between players without unbalancing their Overall score by having too many points available in a single category that aren't in other categories (making it easier for the Tournament Organizers to pinpoint the champions in the crowd.
