AURA POINTS
+1000 aura, -1000 aura. The meme scores charisma with made-up numbers. The WABF scores it with a real card: 100 points per judge, five criteria, plus the crowd.
WHERE THE MEME COMES FROM
Aura points started as internet shorthand for charisma: someone stays calm under pressure and the comments say "+1000 aura"; someone trips over their own line and it is "-1000 aura". There is no official meme scale — the number is the joke. What is real underneath it is the thing being measured: composure, timing and style.
THE REAL 100-POINT CARD
In an official aura battle each judge distributes exactly 100 points across five criteria. The battle result weighs judges 75% and the crowd 25%.

FAQ
What are aura points?
Aura points are an internet scoring meme: doing something with style is '+1000 aura', embarrassing yourself is '-1000 aura'. There is no official meme scale — it is a joke way of measuring charisma and composure. In an official WABF aura battle, the same idea becomes a real 100-point judging card.
How many aura points can you get?
In the meme, any number people invent. In WABF competition each judge distributes exactly 100 points: presence 25, creativity 25, battle IQ 20, execution 15 and flow 15. The final score is 75% judges and 25% crowd.
How do you lose aura points?
Overacting, explaining your own joke, breaking character, chasing approval or being disrespectful. In competition, physical contact, insults and discrimination are sanctions, not just lost points.
Are aura points real?
As a meme, they are informal and unmeasured. As a competition metric they are real: WABF defines the criteria, the maximum per criterion and how judge and crowd scores are combined.
