Rules for a Gun Fight.
Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all of your friends
who have guns.
Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap-life is
expensive.
Only hits count. The only thing worse then a miss is a slow miss.
If your shooting stance is good, you're probably not moving fast enough or
using cover correctly.
Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral and
Diagonal movement are preferred.)
If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun and a
friend with a long gun.
In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or
tactics. They will only remember who lived.
If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading, and
running.
Use a gun that works EVERY TIME. "All skill is in vain when an Angel blows the powder
from the flintlock of your musket.
Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to
beat you to death with it because it is empty.
Always cheat, always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
Have a plan.
Have a back-up plan, because the first one probably won't work.
Use cover or concealment as much as possible.
Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.
Don't drop your guard.
Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees.
Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your
hands where I can see them.)
Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.
The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.
Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to protect yourself from everyone you meet.
Your number one option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to
avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.

Too PC for me. I liked the old version of "Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to protect yourself from everyone you meet" better.

Ain't that the truth...

You forgot some,

Bring more then one magazine per gun, you can never have too much ammunition.

Watch the target even whenit is down, some get up again.

Keep shooting until the target is down, one or two shots may not be enough.]

When in doubt, empty the magazine, everyone will be willing to believe you were scared.

what about a scoring system?

OEFM, you aught to give credit to the people who coined those phrases.
