In a f2f tournament back in The late 1990 s i used 3 scoring systems at once, each focusing on various playingstyles (stabber, vanilla alliance players and balance of power). Score was calculated for each system and then given a value like this.

Player a.
Came first in system a =100 points
Second in system b =99 point
Tenth in system c =90 points.
Overall score =100+99+90

I was thinking of the different scoring systems for diplomacy, and was wondering about a tournament with seven different scoring systems. After three games, the seven winners all go to finalists table, and whoever wins the most scoring systems there is the overall winner.

I've come up with a few scoring systems I thought would be kind of funny (such as (s-s)^2 scoring, or a system that gives points for all holds orders), but what do y'all think? Has this actually happened before? Would this be possible on this site?
