I agree, whenever I am marking spirit scores at tournaments, I don't know what the average is meant to be.
I would say that the average should be 10 (2 for each category), but at the moment, the average seems to float around 12-13 (2-3 for each category). Thus, I find myself consistently marking "harshly" when, in fact, I belive the other teams are all marking too generously!

Perhaps bad, poor, as expected, better than expected and excellent. That way perhaps there could be less confusion around the perceived meaning. As perhaps someone could consider that very good spirit is what a team would expect, but another team would say that the middle score is what is expected. Emily -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Katrina Rae Sent: 30 March 2010 12:27 To: [email protected] Subject: [BD] Spirit Scores MT1 Hey, Having just seen the spirit scores for Mixed Tour One, I have to admit I was disappointed with what ould be I read. We recieved the lowest spirit we have ever had, which is sad since at the last couple of UKU events we have played at we have scored very highly (even picked up a couple of awards). I realise that our score avergaes just below good, but it looks bad in the scheme of things. With this in mind I would be most grateful if the teams that we played over the weekend could give me some feedback into the scores they gave us. Either privately: [email protected] or on a public forum (although it may not be of interest to others!). Whilst I am writing this I would also like to ask for some advice on the spirit scoring system. I really struggle to fill the sheets out, especially this weekend. Can someone please clarify the differences between Average, Good, Very Good and Excellent. Our score suggests we weren't ranked poor (which I am pleased about!) But the other options seem very similar. I also always find that we give unusually high scores because of the difficulty with differentiating between the categories. The majority of the teams we played mentioned how well spirited the game was in their speech afterwards, so I guess I'd just like some clarification. Anyway, cheers to the TD's and people at the Cardiff venue for another great tour event. Awesome way to start the season.
