What do the scores the Gamemakers give the Tributes mean?

Question

Answer 1

The scores are given as a way to rate the tributes before they enter the arena. This rating is what helps the coaches of the tributes get sponsors to support the tributes in the arena. These sponsors are the ones that send things in, such as the gel for Katniss’ burned leg in the first book.

Answer 2

Gamemakers give scores to tributes based on their skills like knife throwing or shooting arrows and their attitudes during their private sessions. These scores are also a way to get sponsors for the tributes; higher the number, better the sponsors and gifts.
