Scoring System
In addition to the wealth of information tracked on the Xbox Live Leaderboards, a scoring system evaluates each player’s performance from round to round. Use this system to see who is pulling his weight and to help balance the teams for future rounds. Also, these points are used to determine your online Leaderboard and TrueSkill rankings.
