Scoring:
- Match Win 4 pts
- Modified Win 3 pts
- Draw 1 pt
- Match Loss 0 pts
Match Win: Opponent mage is dealt lethal damage within time limit, or V'tar goal achieved in Domination.
Modified Win: In the event that no player has attained a Match Win when time is called, the player with the most Life remaining after Damage (i.e. Life – Damage) is awarded the Modified Win. If there is no clear Modified Win, both players will receive a Draw. A Modified Win might also be given to a second-place Mage who achieves the V'tar goal in Domination (but doesn't have the highest V'tar score when the match ends).
Draw: If a Modified Win is awarded, the player with the lower Life remaining after Damage is awarded a Draw.
