Scoring

[cool3108]

How does the scoring work?
bit blunt but that's all, cheers guys

[leach]

depends what format youre playing, but generally M5 = hang the flag at their end to get a point or hit their buzzer again gaining a point. xball tends to be first to 2, 3, 4 or whatever playing back to back points until either someone gets that or time runs out.

If you're talking King of the Hill (the league for newer players), then the scoring is as follows:

Flag hang (capture opponent's flag and return to your start gate): 50 points
Flag in transit when game end is called: 25 points this happens very rarely, a game is in the region of 8 minutes, but is usually over within 3
For each opposing player that your team eliminated: 8 points
For each player you have left alive: 2 points

Maximum score therefore is 100 points. Minimum is zero!

If you mean NSPL leagues 3 & 4:
3 points for a win (flag hang) I think it's three, I'm tired
1 point for a draw (all players eliminated/time up)
0 points for a loss

You also have Elimination Difference, which works on the same basis as Goal Difference in a football league, and is used to distinguish teams tied on points.

Higher divisions work as Leach mentioned.

Leech, really!

If you were to do that then you'd give them the game!, Surely you meant, grab the flag at their end and run it back to your end to hang it for the game! Or are you thinking PSP Race-2 with centre flags?

OP

Koth runs to the 100 point system, see rules etc. here: http://www.kothpaintball.co.uk/format.php

NSPL runs to Millennium Series rules: http://www.nspl.co.uk/rules.php although caution should be exercised when reading the MS rulebook as many of the published rules are outdated, obsolete or have been superseded since the last published version.

2 points for flag in transit if game time is called before a hang iirc my fishy friend

very informative post.
thank X

[cool3108]

i mean what does 1/-9 mean?
i mean nspl

[cool3108]

but thanks for all your replies
keep it up

[Chris - Syd]

1 / -9 in Divisions 3 or 4 means that team won 1 game and their Elimination Difference throughout the event was -9.

cheers, now that clears it all up

Ah that sounds right, thanks

[cool3108]

is it different in div 2 and 1 as i really want to know bout div 2

[Chris - Syd]

Yes, it is different as the formats in Divisions 1 and 2 are both Race-To-Format where teams plays a match of several points rather than single games against different opposition.

In Race-To formats, 1 point is awarded for a match win and 0 points for a loss.

The second number is then the Point Difference.

So, if a team wins a Race-To-4 match (Division 1) by 4 points to 2, they will score 1 / +2 and the loosing team will score 0 / -2

I hope that helps and isn't too confusing.

[JNR-XV]

So the score being 4 - 2 the +2 is the difference between the teams scores. so 4 - 1 would be +3 and so on?

I always wondered where the +scores came into it
