Create a rule called “Viewership Score” (as a subrule of “Bouts” if that rule exists):

Every Bot in a bout has their viewership score for that bout calculated and publicly announced by the Announcer at the end of that bout. The viewership score is calculated by starting at the first step (Baseline hype), then applying each applicable calculation in the listed order. Viewership scores are permitted to be negative during calculations, but those that have a resulting value of less than 0 are instead 0.

* Baseline hype: For all bots in the bout, the viewership score starts at 1.
* Winner: If the bot won the bout, their viewership score increases by 2.
* Win streak: If the bot won its last three bouts (including this one), their viewership score increases by 1.
* Not a scratch: If the bot won the bout and took 0 Damage during it, the viewership score increases by 3.
* Coward: If the bot lost the bout and took 0 Damage during it, the viewership score decreases by 1.
* The behemoth: If the bot has the highest Bot Value out of all bots owned by operators, and no other bot has that Bot Value, then the viewership score increases by 1.
* Underdog story: If the bot has a Bot Value of less than 3/4 of any of the other bots in the bout, then the viewership score is doubled.

Any of these steps that refer to Bot Value calculate it as the sum of the costs of the chassis and the systems of that bot, added to the One-Off Cost of the engine of that bot.
Any of these steps that refer to winning the bout, or losing the bout, or taking damage are ignored if the ruleset does not explicitly define those terms.
