SCORING PROCESS

Each squad, unit and independent character will be marked on the quality of modelling and the quality of the history submitted by you. Points will be awarded under 6 categories. You can score a maximum of five points in each category giving a total maximum score of 30 points.

Quality of modeling

Each unit / independant character will be scored in the following manner for a maximum of 5 points. Once all units / independant character has been scored, they will be added and an average calcualated.

          1 point          -          Basic paint job including the base.                     
          1 point          -          Shading / high lighting.                                                  
          1 point          -          Minor conversion/s                              
          1 point          -          Major conversion/s                              
          1 point          -          Background scenary used for photography          

Quality of background history

Each unit / independant character will be scored in the following manner for a maximum of 5 points. Once all units / independant character has been scored, they will be added and an average calcualated.

          1 point          -          unit / independant character are named                    
          1 point          -          Weapons and wargear described                                        
          1 point          -          Basic Battle history of the unit                                        
          1 point          -          Detailed Battle history of the unit                                        -
          1 point          -          Squad leader/vehicle commander individually detailed          


So each squad/unit/character can earn a maximum of five points for modeling and five points for the background making a total of 10 points maximum score. Each unit will be thus scored out of 10, and then an average calculated for your army. That is all the scores will be added together and divided by the number of units/characters/squads in the army to give your average of 1-10 points.

To this a further overall score will be added by the moderators.

Overall visual effects

The whole army will be assessed for its overall visual appeal and be given a score between 1-5.

Overall background history

The army's background history will be assessed for its quality and be given a score between 1-5.

Size of the submitted army

1 point for every 1000 points of army up to a maximum of 5000 points. Any army that is submitted containing more than 5000 points will score a bonus point of +1 point.

Number of Units

1-5     units                              - 1 point
6-10   units                              - 2 points
11-15 units                              - 3 points
16-20 units                              - 4 points

> 1 independent character          - +1 point

Maximum 5 points

So ultimately each army will be able to score a maximum of 30 points.
