In each game a team plays, they can be awarded a maximum of 10 points by the on-field umpires and the third umpire.
The segregation of 10 points are as follows - 4 points are gained by upholding the spirit of the game with respect to the opinion of the umpires. The remaining three factors involve respecting the opposition, the officials and the rules of the game. The fulfillment of these three can produce 2 points individually.
If a side receives 2 points in a particular area, it's deemed as “good”, while fetching one or no points is termed as “average” or “bad” respectively.
