Zabba reputation: the honesty score for battles
A public score from 0 to 100 that shows who plays it straight.
Reputation is Zabba's honesty score. Match scores in the games on Zabbadat (also searched as Zabadat) cannot be verified, so everything runs on an honor system, and reputation shows which players finish clean. It runs from 0 to 100, and every new player starts at 50. The public board shows only your name and your score, never an email.
The three tiers
- Shaky: under 40
- Steady: 40 to 69
- Trusted: 70 and up
How reputation changes
- +2 for a clean finished battle: a confirmed Washer Battle, or a Plank or TUT Battle finished by hold, TUT, or a draw.
- −5 for a forfeit: you tap forfeit, leave mid-battle, or go silent for 30 seconds. If both players are out, both lose 5.
- −10 when a disputed washers round is ruled against you by the Bariboshi winner, as in the official regulations.
- 0 if a battle is cancelled, never starts, or is undecided, or if you win because your opponent forfeited.
Plank and TUT Battles have no disputes, because each phone measures itself. The server scores each battle once, so a match can never count twice, and your score stays between 0 and 100. Wagered or not, every battle counts. Try the Washer Battle, the TUT Battle, or the Plank Battle.
