Scoring Setup

Configure battle scoring templates, VP conversion, bonus criteria, and soft scores.

The Scoring tab is where you define how winners are determined. It is split into two sub-tabs: Battle Scoring (the core game results) and Soft Scores (painting, sportsmanship, and so on). An Export button in the top-right downloads your scoring configuration.

Battle scoring

Scoring templates

Choose a template that matches how your event converts Victory Points into Tournament Points (or determines wins):

  • Matched Play (default) - VP differentials convert to results (Draw, Minor Victory, Regular Victory, Crushing Victory, and their loss equivalents) using a conversion table. Each result awards set Tournament Points. The standard Warhammer: The Old World approach.
  • 20-0 System - the VP differential maps to a sliding 20-0 scale where the winner's and loser's scores always sum to 20. Popular in many European circuits.
  • Win-Loss-Draw - simple binary outcomes, no VP conversion. Just record who won, lost, or drew.

Simple vs advanced mode

By default scoring runs in Simple Mode: players enter their Victory Points directly during matches and any bonus Battle Points are added on top. Toggle Enable Advanced Scoring to switch to Advanced Mode, where the VP Conversion Table automatically calculates Tournament Points from VP differentials. Advanced mode is useful when you want the system to handle the maths precisely.

BYE points

Set the Tournament Points a player receives for a BYE round (no opponent due to an odd player count). Default is 3, equivalent to a Draw in the Matched Play template.

VP conversion table

This defines how VP differentials map to results and Tournament Points. The default Matched Play bands are:

  • 0 to 300 - Draw: winner 3 TP, loser 3 TP.
  • 301 to 600 - Minor Victory 4 TP, Minor Loss 2 TP.
  • 601 to 950 - Regular Victory 5 TP, Regular Loss 1 TP.
  • 951 or more - Crushing Victory 6 TP, Crushing Loss 0 TP.

You can customise the VP ranges, result labels, and TP values. Click Add Band for more tiers; the trash icon removes a band. In Simple Mode this table is for reference only: it is shown to players so they understand their VP differential, but they enter VPs directly.

Battle criteria (bonus points)

Below the VP table, the Battle Scoring section lets you add bonus Tournament Points awarded during matches, typically for scenario objectives or secondary missions. Click Add Battle Criteria then New Category. Each criterion has a Name, Active Rounds (which rounds it applies to; leave empty for all), a Scoring Style (Rubric by default), and Points Per Item. Click Add Item to build your checklist of scoreable items.

Soft scores

Soft scores cover everything outside the game: painting quality, sportsmanship, favourite opponent voting, and any custom categories. Soft score winners are shown as separate awards, not mixed into the battle standings. Click Add Soft Score to choose from templates or create a custom category:

  • Painting - score army presentation and painting quality.
  • Sportsmanship - rate opponent behaviour and game enjoyment.
  • Favorite Opponent - let players vote for their favourite opponent.
  • Custom Category - define your own with a custom name and criteria.

Each soft score category can be configured with its own scoring rubric and point values.
