When does the score reset?

Some people tend to forget that sometimes the 'score' between you is generally a running tally.  Unless a new competition or an official restart is declared (prenegotiated), the 'score' runs continually.

For instance:


NEW GUY: Hey, does (printer I never heard of before) have (some attribute that makes no sense for a printer)
ME:  Haven't heard of that printer, but that seems like an odd question about a printer
NEW GUY: [puts user on hold, walks over, dances] In your FACE.  Me, one.  You, zero
ME:  Dude, you don't get a point for being the first of the two of us to hear about an obscure printer that no one on the service desk has seen before.  You're on the phones, that's going to happen.
NEW GUY: In your FACE!
ME:  Okay, if you want that point, put it into perspective.  You've been here two months and finally have one point.  I'm at 100 million.  Want me to convert that to a percentage?
NEW GUY:  ... shut up.
