No. It's the player's job to keep track of their own scores. The points system works like this:

• 3 points for the first story or poem in any category
• 1 point for each additional story or poem in any category
• 2 points for an immunity in any category and the category is closed to further point.
• You may only count points on ten poems in any poetry category for a maximum of 12 points.

There are bonus points awarded for reaching certain levels.

• 5 points for posting 10 stories or poems in any category (one time only)
• 5 points for posting in 10 categories (immunities included)
• 10 points for posting in 20 categories (immunities included)
• 15 points for posting in 30 categories (immunities included)
• 30 pointes for posting in all categories (immunities included)

There are no points awarded for H's, E's, or W's.

Ok, I have question about these bonus points. When you reach 10 categories, you add 5 bonus points to your score. When you reach 20 categories do you add 10 more or is 10 the cummulative bonus total for 20 categories (meaning 5 for 10 cats + 5 for 10 more cats= 10 pts total for 20 categories)? I was thinking that it was just 5 extra points each time until you reached all categories and then it was 15 extra points.

Crim, my understanding is 5 for 10 categories, then 10 for 20 (i.e 5 + 10 = 15) and 15 for 30 (i.e 5+10+15 =30) and a further 30 for all (i.e you get 60 bonus points when you post in all categories). I might be wrong so we better wait for Muffie.

I agree with Dampy...

I believe that each of those milestones stand on their own...

so 5 for 10
then 10 for 20... meaning you would have received 15 points at that point.

Hmmm... I think I'm feeling really stupid today. I went and read the rules again but my question wasn't answered (or I managed to miss it). Do Immunities count towards the 5 categories filled, 10 cats. filled, etc.?

Hi, DP. That one was answered earlier.

Yes! Immunities are treated just like first-in-category stories for bonus purposes.

The only difference is that an immunity is worth one less point and you may not enter any stories in that category into the contest. You can still post 'em at Lit if you want to, though.
