Sportsmanship is very subjective and is hard to be expressed on a scale, at least for me. After I've played a game I either feel I had a good one or a bad one - no shades of grey between. In a tournament (I haven't played in one with sportsmanship score yet) I'd be always inclined to give a good game check as to remain on good terms with the guy on the other side and would give bad only if I'm certain that I never want to see or speak to that person again. These two things defeat the purpose of a sportsmanship score passed by the players (for me atleast).Radechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15181133931626222342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7460984850239841053.post-22772156638471788102013-03-04T20:28:28.284-08:002013-03-04T20:28:28.284-08:00And the problem with giving everyone full marks is...And the problem with giving everyone full marks is that it inflates the score, giving more weight to the other characteristics. The large tournament circuit here in Sacramento uses Generalship, Composition and Paint to determine best overall. Paint tends to be fairly well distributes, but Comp allows everyone to score perfect. Doing this puts more weight on generalship and paint.<br /><br />Anyway, I agree, no tolerance for crap. No need to score it.Punchdubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05276658950482969466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7460984850239841053.post-67239821054117858942013-03-04T19:46:58.784-08:002013-03-04T19:46:58.784-08:00If I were to count sportsmanship in tournament res...If I were to count sportsmanship in tournament results, everyone would get a full score unless their opponents can justify otherwise. People shouldn't get bonus points for being good sports because, as you said, it is very subjective. Sportsmanship should only be put in place penalize/discourage those who are being unbearable or "ignorantly" cheating... otherwise the venue becomes attractive for "those guys" that know they can get away with it. <br /><br />As for cheating - Weighted dice, moving extra inches here and there, etc... 1 warning, then kicked out without refund and banned from participating the next tournament, no exceptions. Manners and honesty are expected in any worthwhile tournament. Zwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954128897971005853noreply@blogger.com
