SO why not base it distance between grid squares.  

Your own grid-1 point
Grids touching your own-2 points
Next circle of grids beyond adjacent-3 points 

etc.

Of course something would have the be developed
differently for 6 meters, or you could win the entire
contest by only playing on 6 with a good Es opening.
