Points are the basic scoring unit in Team Fortress 2, and are awarded for different successful offensive and defensive actions. Performing these actions will also often earn a voice response from the class you are playing.
Points can be awarded in fractions; however, these will not show up on the Scoreboard until a whole number is reached.
How to earn points
Note that one action may result in being awarded points for two or more reasons; for example earning a headshot will award points for both the kill and for the headshot.

Trivia
- As points are rounded down within each category before being added to form a player's total score, headshots with the Huntsman can appear to increase a player's score by 1, 2, or even 3 points.
