Scoresuits:

A type of armor worn for martial sports. They have some of the characteristics of battlesuits but tend to lack(or play down) many features associated with strictly military usage such as advanced sensory and stealth capability, mechanical enhancements to the wearers strength, and gravs. The most important purposes are to protect the wearer and to record the opponent's blows. Their score feature is adaptable to multitudes of styles and traditions of martial sports.

A good scoresuit can receive a full blow from any handweapon without being penetrated. While rare it is known for point-recording programing to be damaged and some traditions consider being able to land a blow hard enough to cause a system crash to be an automatic victory.

Scoresuits of various types are found all through known space.
