Scoring would be a problem, but that would have to wait until the problem of 
how to get both sets of leaders to cooperate in the scheme was solved.

There has been much good SciFi written along those lines, and an interesting 
on in which *any* participant in a court could be found guilty of stuff and 
maybe executed: witnesses, the judge, lawyers, prosecution, defense, janitor, 
the lot. Now *that* would be an interesting experiment.
