Sportmanship is must. The games are indended to play with friends and for fun. I like to respect my opponent and be polite and I actually expect same for me.
I am not sure if there actually is need for sportmanship scores in tournament or not. I have participated in tournaments with and without sportmanship scores. I have met very little problems.
The game is about victory, but that is not excuse to be rude. But playing for victory is not same as being rude. The Great opponent is generous one and says aloud when mistake is done, even this mistake is beneficial for himself. Poor one is opportunist, who speaks only when mistake is not beneficial and keeps quiet when it is.
Some people are interested more about fluff, painting, making coversions and some people like to know how rules really work. Usually they also like to play right and don't like players who play carelessly and then complain about their own mistakes! I have always believed that it is best to learn from own mistakes.
Some people like to play game like a chess. They know rules, they have great skill and right tactics. Every wrong decicision is counted. I have played only few games like them. There are no matter who winns, because they are art.
I am interested 40K because of fluff and models, and I enjoy playing it with good friend. The rules of it are 'interesting', because you cannot actually be sure what they actually are. Least if you are playing with DH.
I play Warmachine and Hordes because of rules and game mechanics. They are so beatifull. I have never met anything like those (unless we want to speak about roleplaying games and rules of them).

I go with murhe.
Exactly the spirit i try to have.
Except one i spot something wrong that might be beneficial for me, then i just sit and wonder if it is right or wrong.
Few times have i won due to something like this, i think it is none.
And i win almost never, but is positive and nice unless everything just dies in boring ways.
It's normal if my 7 man squad die from shooting from multiple squads.
I become sad when all my grey knights die before round 3, leaving me with a bunch of stormtroopers i didn't start collecting Deamonhunters too have.
Let's see if i can get any sportsmanship points in the tournament this weekend.
