Typical points margins for win/loss/tie/etc

[McNathanson]

Dumb question because I've been away from tournaments for years: is there a standard set of margins for most tournaments nowadays?  What is a typical breakdown for scoring?

 

I'm wondering about both the division of points between Battle/Comp/Sports/Paint, and also the VPs margins eg (<100 Draw 5 points, 101-200 Minor Victory 10 points, 201-500 Major 15 points, etc.)

Thanks,
Nathan

1-200 10/10

201-400 11/9

401-600 12/8

601-800 13/7

801-1000 14/6

1001-1200 15/5

1201-1400 16/4

1401-1600 17/3

1601-1800 18/2

1801-2000 19/1

2000+ 20/0

 

This is the system I see most commonly although it does vascilate.

The 20-nil system isn't used in my area. We play win/loss/draw with the standard 100 vp differentiation.

in seattle i see 20 nil and in canada i have seen W-L-D.  Both have their pros and cons but i think i prefer 20 nil as i think someone should be rewarded for playing a close loss.

On the flip side though, it encourages going for the throat, and if you are crushing an opponent and they are looking like the life has left their eyes, being a good sport and asking them if they want to call the game ends up hurting you in the standings because you didn't finish mopping up. I like w-t-ml-l personally.

[ClassicFlava]

Yeah that is the downside of 20 nil. I think I agree with you that w-t-ml-l is the way to go.

Or, if they forfeit, they can just give you the 20-0.  It's not like W-L-D gives them any more points in a forfeiture anyway.
