Given…

  1. Competitions of fixed time will be scored on a measurement criteria
  2. Competitions of fixed measurements will be scored on a time criteria

The criteria can be high score OR low score wins

Measurements are typically distance (miles, km, etc) or counts (arbitrary; pins in bowling, free throws in basketball, dollars in fundraising)

Override layers are needed for some conditions where special scoring is wanted. These can be tournaments, score handicaps, or even something playful like house rules.
