Sportsmanship:
Everyone starts out with 20/30 possible points for sportsmanship. At the end of every game, you will score your opponent on a pass/fail system.
Ask yourself the following:
"Did my opponent's attitude and/or behavior make the game an UNpleasant experience, overall?"
Note to the player: Please be sure that your answer is based on your opponent's behavior as a person, not on their army, and certainly not on who won or lost. Thank you!
IF you would answer the above question with a "YES" Then your opponent failed.
Each failure will be handles as follows:
1 failure = -2points
2 failures = -5 points
3 failures = -10 points
4 failures = -20 points and DQ'd from winning any awards
5 failures = DQ and not allowed to return.
Note: All "Bad game" votes will need to be explained to the TO. Just to ensure that it was legitimately earned.
At the end of the Event, you will fill in your favorite opponent from the event. Each Favorite opponent vote gets you 2 points added to your sports score.
