Lyle discusses bonus points as a tool for keeping a gaming league lively. Rewards can encourage painted armies, varied opponents or challenges to leading players, but changing the scoring must suit the group’s preference for predictability or surprise. The studio Spearhead league provides the example, with the organiser’s aim of increasing enjoyment taking precedence over any particular catch-up mechanism.
