How I score

Pens & rosin

Start every pillar at 10.0. Pens skip Smell entirely; divide by 2, not 3. Companion to the flower score card.

How it works

Rosin (dabs, badder, sauce) scores all three pillars below. Pens (disposables, carts) skip Smell completely and only use Taste and Effects, divided by 2 instead of 3. Check the ONE option in each row that fits the notes and write its points in the box. If the notes don't say, check "not documented" or the lower-credit option, since unverified never earns credit.
