Let's say there's a tournament with 16 mechs on the board, with a 4-hour time limit. Assuming all the Mechs are adjusted to similar BV, what's a good scoring system to determine a winner? Using just kills is not viable because it encourages sniping, as opposed to engaging and fighting.
Also, this system has to be very quick to determine round-by-round scores/leaders (remember, it's a 4-hour limit), and it would be best if the players have to do very little of the paperwork involved (although having players do it isn't a deal breaker).

I have seen people use the forced withdrawal crippling damage as a method.

But that doesn't generate a score. I'm looking for something that generates an actual score that can be quickly and easily tracked.

I like Mordel's system of PBeM scoring, though I am not sure how, "quick n easy" that is as it will require accurate record keeping every firing phase. How many machines does each player have control of?

One or two, no more than that.

My store group held an Urbie Derby and used 'objectives' as a means of gaining points.
Repetitive:
1 point / kill.
1 point / unit placed in forced withdrawal.
1 point / turn of holding a control point.
Once / Game:
2 points for a successful kick that removes the targets leg.
2 points for a successful DFA that knocks the opponent prone.
1 point for causing an ammo explosion.
1 point for passing a PSR of 7+.
1 point for hitting with a Small Laser/MG/Flamer.
Stuff like this.
