Combat HAS started though, with Barti's character taking a pretty sizable hit early on and being on the defensive/running end almost the whole fight. So even if Vordak were to judge it based off what's going on, or has happened to this point, I don't see any situation in which I lose. 

While it doesn't accurate portray any achievements, it shouldn't prevent the winner from getting the points. Now, had the match not started(like say, the first 100 posts of Melonhead vs Tuuja, xD), then perhaps I shouldn't get any points. And I would agree with that. But me and Barti had met, initiated attacks(She started it), and continued a fair deal before she vanished for personal reasons, stating her return to be last week, and then just not coming back.
