Scoring will be on a sliding scale for Battle points:
Quote:
Scoring breakdown
Battle points: max of 125 points
Battle points will be awarded on a sliding scale from 0-20 per game based on margin of victory as follows.
Margin = Winning/Losing
<150 = 10/10
150 = 11/9
300 = 12/8
450 = 13/7
600 = 14/6
750 = 15/5
900 = 16/4
1050 = 17/3
1200 = 18/2
1350 = 19/1
1500 = 20/0
In addition there will be up to 5 bonus points per game, that are independent of Margin of Victory.
Sportsmanship: In an effort to try and have this category be both meaningful and accurate. Everyone will start with 28 points out of a possible 40. After each game you will rank your opponents, You will not be allow to swap the position of your opponents once they are set. For example. There is no reason to score after round one, as you only have 1 opponent. But after round 2. You will be asked to rank your opponents in order from 1-2. After round 3 you will insert your third round opponent into the list, but you may not change your previous order of opponents. At the end, your highest and lowest rank will be dropped. The remaining ranks will be calculated into your score, with each #1 being worth 4 points, and each #2 being worth 2 points, #3's will not modify your score, #4's will deduct 4 from your score, and any #5's will reduce your score by 9. Anyone receiving more than 3 #5's overall will be zero'd for sports and not be allowed to return in 2012.
Keep in mind this takes anything into account, be it the amount of fun you had, how challenging the game is, short of the actual result. We will be keeping tabs on your scores through out the tournament. If you continue to rank everyone you beat high and people who beat you low, we may need to discuss it with you. Hopefully intervention will not be needed. These scores will be made public in the full results.
Note: Cheating is not a part of sportsmanship. If you are found to be cheating during a game, you will be asked to leave and your opponent for the current round will be awarded max points for the round.
Painting: Painting will be worth a total of 40 points. Players will receive their score sheets at the conclusion of event. Exact method will be posted ahead of time. Obviously display boards, conversions and advanced painting techniques will improve your score! Painting your demons as brightly as possible does not automatically improve your score.
So the total points you will be able to achieve in this tournament is 205. With 125 battle points, and 80 for painting and sportsmanship. The breakdown is roughly 60% battle and 40% soft scores.
This will also be a CLOSED list event. I will verify all lists are legal prior to the tournament, and you will check over your opponents list after the game has ended. The only detail to made public to your opponent before the game is your "counts as PD/DD" magic Items/gifts/powers/whatever. To ensure the magic phase is handled correctly.
