Scoring

+1 pt per KO
+Win Bonus = 4 × Match‑up Multiplier
+Tier Bonus (see next section)

Match-up Multiplier

An adjustent so that everyone tries their best despite the odds of a matchup. Rewards adversity for poor matchups, and precise play during strong matchups (should maintain a high KO count differential to earn a gap)

STAB Interaction (you vs them)	Stage	Multiplier
Your STAB has No effect	+2
Your STAB is Resisted / You take SE	+1
Neutral	±0	×1.00
You Resist enemy / Your STAB is SE	‑1
Their STAB has No effect	‑2

Stages add together; cap at ±6 before conversion.

Example 1: Ice beats Steel (Major Upset)
Your STAB resisted (+1) & you’re hit SE (+1) >> stage +2 >> ×2.00
Win Bonus = 4 × 2.00 = 8 pts.

Example 2: Ground beats Electric (Expected Formality)
Your STAB Super Effective (-1) & you’re immune (-2) >> stage -3 >> ×0.40
Win Bonus = 4 × 0.4 = 1 pt (decimal dropped).

Example 3: Ghost beats normal (dual immunity)
Your STAB is ineffective (+2) & you’re immune (-2) >> stage 0 >> ×1.00
Win Bonus = 4 × 1 = 4 pts.

Type Tier Bonuses

As we are ever an ally to the underdog, scores per match will get a final adjustment :outy:[tt2]BIZNASTY[/tt2]:outy: on the dominance of a type. Yes, it can go negative. If steel manages to lose to rock without claiming any KOs, they DESERVE to be docked points.

Tier	Types	Bonus
S	Steel	‑2
A	Fairy, Water, Dark	‑1
B	Dragon, Flying, Fire, Ground, Electric, Fighting, Ghost, Psychic	±0
C	Ice, Poison, Grass, Normal, Bug	+1
D	Rock	+2

Tournament Flow

Swiss / round‑robin stage: everyone battles the set number of rounds.
