# Scoring Matrix

### Match Snapshot

When a tournament match **kicks off**, the system takes a **snapshot** that records:

* All players participating in the match
* The number of shares held for each player at kickoff

This snapshot is the **only reference point** used to calculate player scores once the match ends.

**Key rules:**

* A snapshot is taken **once per match at kickoff**
* Players may be sold after kickoff without affecting scoring
* Players added **after kickoff**:
  * Do not receive points for that match
  * Still consume **1 contract**

### Player Scoring

After the match concludes, official data is synced and player scores are calculated based on:

* Match result
* Individual in-match performance

**Scoring eligibility:**

* Player status must be **Active**
* Player must have **at least 1 contract** at kickoff

**Special cases:**

* **Benched players** receive a Player Score of **0**
* If a player’s contract expires **exactly at kickoff**, their Player Score is still calculated and included in final tournament results

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.fansports.fun/scoring-system/editor.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
