Point scoring
Point scoring assessment of result or performance in sport competitions by assigning numbers. Point scoring is used particularly in those sport disciplines where performance cannot be measured objectively by means of the » cm-g-s system, rather, it must be assessed by judges on the basis of vari- ous criteria prescribed in the sport discipline (»mark). This is usually done according to the principle of » point deduction. In some sports (e.G. American football, basketball, rugby, wrestling, boxing, skittles) hits, goals, successfully applied techniques, etc. Are scored with points depending on the quality of execution. In track and field multiple events (e.G. Heptathlon, decathlon) and team competitions, also in other multiple event competitions (e.G. Modern pentathlon, nordic combination, sport fishing), measured performances are transformed into points according to official standardized point tables and then added for the total result. In many team games the game result is recorded in points (e.G. 2 Points for a victory, 1 point for a tie), the ranking is then determined depending on the points. In the return games (e.G. Badminton, tennis, ping pong, volleyball) it is not merely the own performance that counts, but also faults made by the opponent. In some sport disciplines (e.G. Show-jumping) points are awarded for the faults made (penalty points), so that the lowest number of points decides who wins the competition. (H.Haag &g. Haag, dictionary, 2003, 372p)
