Each individual will earn five points per event they participate in. Participation is defined as a valid submission for an event. Simply signing up for an event or uploading an unqualified submission will not count. Participation will earn 5 points.

In addition to participation points, the top three individuals in each competition will earn placement modifier points.

The modifier for fiction will be 3 The modifier for gaming/graphics/poetry will be 2 No modifier will be added to puzzle/trivia/flash events Grading formula: (Placement Score * Event Modifier) + Participation = Event Score

Point ties will be broken by comparing the number and position of finishes within the sub-competitions. e.g., If two participants have 30 points and Player A has two first place finishes and Player B has one first place and one second place the tie is broken in favor of Player A.

At the end of the competition, the individual scores for all sub-competitions will be added up, and the top three individuals will earn crescents for the overall competition.
