Scoring
All of the following are to USRD/CRWP areas only. An article is considered part of USRD/CRWP if it is tagged for assessment by USRD/CRWP. Please read all of the specifics. The state you choose has no bearing on points; it is just for decoration.

For each round, points will be reset; each person will start with 0 points.

I reserve the right to adjust the point values through the contest since I can't foresee every possible scenario that might occur.)

Normal editing

 * Mainspace edits - 0.1
 * Mainspace edits to the bottom five states on the leaderboard (currently MO, LA, FL, MS, AR), or any territories mixed in with those bottom 5 states (currently PR, VI), or NL, YK, NW Terr, NS, NB, PE, get 0.2 points instead.
 * If you are splitting what can be done in one edit into several just to get more edits, there will be a penalty.
 * Minor edits - 0.01
 * Please mark minor edits as minor so I don't have to click on the diff to see if you should get an extra point for class improvement or to check if it really is major.
 * Redirects = 0.02
 * Edits that should be minor but are marked normally will be considered minor edits.
 * Improving an article's assessment (through work that you did) - 2 points from Stub to Start, 2 points for Start to C, 1 point from C to B
 * You cannot get this point for GA, A, and FA.

Recognition of articles

 * Only USRD articles are eligible for this, since CRWP has no ACR.**

USRD / CRWP media

 * Making a MTF compliant map - 1
 * Must be MTF compliant, even if it is a Canada map.
 * Redoing an existing map for a valid reason will be worth .5 point.
 * Edits to an already existing map (editing the actual file, not the description page) will be worth 0.25 points.
 * Making a shield - 0.5
 * Must be SVG (if not fair use, in which case it would be PNG) and be compliant with shield standards.
 * Redoing or editing a shield will count for 0.1 points.
 * Uploading self-created images - 0.5
 * Uploading other freely licensed images - 0.25
 * Images must be useful. (For example, no uploading 15 of the same image, or uploading signs of every exit on I-35 in OK).
 * You must use the User:Rschen7754/USRDCRWPCup/Submissions page to list your media that you uploaded.

USRD / CRWP participation

 * Submitting news for the portal - 2
 * Must have a citation. Canada news goes to Portal:Roads.
 * Writing a blog entry - 1
 * Must be informative and say something meaningful.
 * USRD only, since Canada has no blog.**
 * Doing a GAN review of a USRD/CRWP article - 3
 * Must be done properly. Improper reviews (drive-by reviews) will lose 30 points.
 * Doing an ACR review - 3
 * Improper reviews (drive-by reviews) will lose 30 points.
 * USRD only, since Canada has no ACR.**
 * Giving input on a peer review - 2
 * Nominations such as FAC, GAN, etc. that take a while must be fully completed by 00:00 UTC, Sunday March 1 (24 hours after the contest ends - so this would be Saturday night) in order to receive points. FAC takes about 2 weeks; GAN could be a month. I will try to review GANs and speed ACRs through the system; however, any uncompleted / unreviewed ones will not receive points. Plan accordingly.
 * Leaving a comment on a USRD FAC - 2
 * You MUST review 1 USRD ACR and 1 USRD/CRWP GAN, ACR, or FAC in order to go on to round 3. Otherwise, you will be disqualified. (Rschen7754 may suspend this rule if there are not enough nominations.)

Penalties

 * Cheating - (-10*points in question)

For those interested, I will be maintaining the scoring spreadsheet on Google Docs and am willing to provide you with read-only access if you want. Email me your email address at gmail.com if you are interested.

These are points, not items. (For example, a 1 in the mainspace edits column means 10 mainspace edits.)
