A tally system that counts points in numbers. It can be used to decide the winner of a competition (games, sports, etc.) or a single counter that decides the final result one got in something (exams, single-player game, etc.). Applicable to both online and offline events.

The numbers must be clear to represent points the participant(s) achieved of something still ongoing.

See musical staff or sheet music for music scores.
