Scoring: Soft Scores & Voting

Beyond battle results, many tournaments include soft scores (painting, sportsmanship, hobby achievements) and voting categories like Best Painted Army or Favourite Opponent. These appear as separate cards in the Battle Hub after your match.

Soft scores

If the tournament has soft score categories, a Soft Scores card appears below your match card. Soft scores are submitted separately from battle results and do not require opponent confirmation. The form is divided into two sections:

Rate your opponent. Categories where you score your opponent, typically sportsmanship, painting quality, or list presentation. Your rating is recorded on your opponent's record, not yours. For example, rating your opponent's painting 4 out of 5 goes toward their painting total.

Self assessment. Categories where you score yourself, for example a hobby checklist or self-reported painting level. Your rating is recorded on your own record.

Input methods

• Numeric - a single number input with a range, for example "Sportsmanship (1-5)". Enter a value within the allowed range.
• Rubric - a checklist of criteria, each worth set points. The total is calculated automatically. Quick links All (max all criteria) and Clear (zero all criteria) appear at the top right.

Once you have filled in all categories, click Submit Scores. A green checkmark confirms your submission.

Soft scores are a one-time submission per round. You cannot edit them after submitting, so double-check your entries first.

Voting

If the tournament includes voting categories (Best Painted Army, Player's Choice, Favourite Opponent, and so on), a separate Cast Your Vote card appears.

For each category you select a player from a dropdown of eligible players. Vote filtering applies:

• If the category is "opponents only", you only see players you have faced.
• Self-voting is excluded unless the organiser has specifically allowed it.
• You cannot vote for the same player twice in a multi-vote category.

Multi-vote (ranked voting)

Some categories allow multiple ranked votes, for example 1st place (3 points), 2nd (2 points), and 3rd (1 point). Each rank has its own dropdown and you must select a different player for each. The ordinal labels and point values are shown next to each dropdown.

Click Submit Votes when ready. A green checkmark confirms your submission.

Like soft scores, votes are a one-time submission. You cannot change them after submitting.

When do these appear?

Soft scores and voting cards are only visible when the current round is active or in scoring, you are checked in, the tournament has soft score or voting categories configured, and those categories are active for the current round.
