SPORTSMANSHIP AND MODELLING SCORING FORMAT
(Judged on the day of the event)

Rate your opponent by circling the value that best reflects the description in each category from a value of 1 to 4. The higher the value the closer your opponent matches the description. Lower scores indicates the player needs improvement in one or more areas.

Sportsmanship - Part I _____4......3......2......1
My opponent is fun to play against. He has taught me something new about the game and showed patience when questions were asked. We resolved game problems easily and without slowing the game down. The few times I forgot to use an ability/rule or to make a move or a die roll, my opponent allowed me to do so out of turn. My opponent truly enjoyed himself whether on the winning or loosing end of the game.

Sportsmanship - Part II _____4......3......2......1
My opponent is a fair and honest player. Nothing in his army list was questionable. If so, it was an honest mistake and fairly corrected. On his turn he clearly announced all his actions and made sure I witnessed his die rolls. He finished his turn within a reasonable amount of time and his accuracy with the measuring tape is impeccable.

Modelling _____4......3......2......1
My opponent fielded a completely painted army! He showed great creativity in choice of models and color schemes. The painting quality is uniform throughout and of high marks. Each model and unit was clearly represented and showed the right weapon/equipment.The miniature bases in each model of his army match the overall look of the army and special attention was taken on detailing Special Characters.
