Hi BritDisc,
Following on a previous email regarding spirit scores, I would like to ask
if there are general guidelines as to how to fill in the spirit scores (I'm
referring to the "WFDF BULA Spirit of the Game scoresheet" used at Tour 0)?
I ask this, because I have noticed that there have been different
interpretations of the score scale (i.e. 0,1,2).
Whereas some teams will give an average of 8 out of 16 to games that were
considered normal (i.e. no major issues, good overall spirit, good mood,
but also nothing worthwhile mentioning), some others will score the same
game at the 12/13 level.
Is it not the case that a game that does not have major incidents, where
there were not many calls nor "physical" bids and people were generally
amicable, should be scored 1 all the way? I saw people giving 2s in
sections such as "Positive attitude", "Avoiding body contact", "Avoiding
Violations and Fouls" and "Knowledge of the Rules", in games where there
were almost no calls nor "hard bids" (more typical of less tight games).
I am raising this issue because with the new system, people perceive spirit
scores as being more accurate and I suspect that this dual criterion might
be falsifying this outcome.
