GRADING RUBRIC

The fight results will be graded as follows: (Any one player may obtain up to 23 points when being graded from a fight. Regardless of if a player won IC or not, these points will be the deciding factor in whom advances. Though winning does boost the chances of proceeding, especially if they tie scores with their opponent. in all other sections of the grading.)

True to Character (One to Five Points)
Was the player true to their character? Did they do anything that didn't fit or did they make this too personal with OOC drama. Did they make it a 'no u' kind of match? Did they use anything outside of their profile?

Clarity (One to Five Points)
Was the writer clear in their actions? Were the actions in the post sound and very seemingly possible? Did this player ramble too much off subject, did they clutter their post with so much irrelevant information on their character that it did not fit a purpose of action executed in said post?

Entertainment (One to Five Points)
Did this person make the fight interesting both to IC and OOC? Was it a fun experience for both players and did they contribute to a good read as a whole?

Domination (One to Five Points)
Who 'controlled' this fight? Who maintained the upper-hand in this fight? Who maintained the pace?

Winner (Winner gets an automatic addition of two points)
This one is simple, Did they win the fight IC.

WOW! Factor (An extra point available to those that absolutely wow you as a judge.)
Did this person do something amazing, something so spectacular, or were they just so awesome as a whole that you just had to give them an A for effort, win or lose?


BREAKING NEWS!!!
Alright, as a special condition, it has been decided that any sort of throwing items and/or projectile items are deemed as the ammo being non replenish-able between round. You got 20 arrows in your quiver? That's it, make them count. 3nodding
