If someone hasn't read the scoring rules at this point in time, especially since most of the requested terms are in the definitions of the Game section, then I'd respond mentally with a not-so-nice term and on the forum with a "Read the Manual", possibly tempered with a section.

Face it, the scoring rules are pretty important. They are also ridiculously clear. If you can't understand the scoring rules on a quick read of the right section of the Manual, you didn't read it right. (Don't get me started on the seeding rules, though...)
