Grading Scale and Format

As described on the incentives list, every game you work in-stadium is an opportunity to add to your year-end Accuracy Incentive. You will begin each game with 0 points, and your total will count up with each point-worthy mistake. There are Minor Errors (1 point) and Major Errors (5 points). 

For Play Scouts, this incentive is divided into 3 levels:

• Good - 0-4 points = 100% accuracy ($100)

• Average - 5-9 points = 50% accuracy ($50)

• Poor - 10+ points = 0% accuracy ($0)

For Clock Scouts, this incentive is Pass/Fail:

• Pass/Good - 0-5 points = 100% Accuracy ($50)

• Fail/Poor - 6+ points = 0% Accuracy ($0)

Below is a list of examples of mistakes that will affect your point total. NOTE: The list above is fluid and can be changed or added to at any point during the season:

• Beginning the game in the wrong Banjo (2 Major Errors)
