4. Games
4.1 Scoring system :
- Game points
Fist step
Decide who is the winner based on rulebook rules. The result is always 15 (winner) :5 (loser). If it's tied on the objectives both players recieve 10.

Second step
Compute Victory Points (VP) difference. The player having the VP difference in his favour gets a bonus, the other one gets a malus.

Difference in vps / game points bonus / malus
1450-1750 / +5 / -5
1150-1449 / +4 / -4
850-1149 / +3 / -3
550-849 / +2 / -2
250-549 / +1 / -1
0-249 / no bonus & malus for vps

To sum up, the result of an individual players consists of points awarded for objectives (win = 15, tie = 10, loss = 5, see step 1), plus or minus a bonus or malus due to Victory Points (see step 2).


If two or more players have the same number of game points at the end of the tournament, victory points gained from all battles will decide the champion.
