Pick-up forces are balanced by mutually ranking and pairing units, not by points.
How it works
Each player ranks the opponent's units from strongest to weakest, and units are paired by rank. Each pairing scores 1 for the more threatening unit, plus 1 for heavy hitters and 1 for size advantage, and each extra unit scores 2. The higher total takes the difference as Penalty Points, each spent as a starting Break Point for itself or a Hero Point for the opponent, or reduces its force instead.
The Force Parity Procedure provides a method for balancing forces for "pick up" matches without the use of a points system.
