Sluttpoeng

Sluttpoeng is a Norwegian term that translates to "final points" and refers to the total number of points earned by a participant or team by the end of a game, round, or assessment. It functions as the concluding tally that determines the outcome or ranking.

In sports and games, sluttpoeng is the final score at the end of regulation time or the competition. The exact meaning depends on the sport: basketball uses points from field goals and free throws; football uses goals; other sports use different point units. The sluttpoeng is used to declare the winner and to establish standings and qualifications, and in some leagues, tiebreakers may be applied if teams have the same sluttpoeng.

In educational contexts and competitions, sluttpoeng denotes the sum of earned points on tests, assignments, or rounds. It may be scaled or weighted to produce a final grade or ranking. Some systems specify minimum sluttpoeng for passing or advancement.

Etymology and usage: the word is composed of slutt meaning end and poeng meaning points. The term is more common in informal speech or certain contexts; many official documents may instead use "final score" or "final result." See also final score, final result, score, and point system.
