No fresh pressure treated wood. 2 points

Platform low to water. 4 points

The more dilapidated the better. 3points

Dock resting on supports, not floating. 5 points

Supports set into concrete blocks (artificial rocks) rather than just stuck

Multiple horizontal or angled braces. 1 point per non vertical member.

posts/braces larger than 4 by 4s. 2 points

Dock cross or abuts both a reasonably flat bottom and a depth change. 10

Dock abuts or houses a different type of cover (Rock/log/weeds/brush) 10
points

Dock comes off seawall rather than just off bank. 2 points

Wooden Ladder off front face of dock. 1 point

Complex shape (T or L instead of just a straight walk)5 points.

Lone dock on a bank. Jackpot.

Just add up the points -- the higher the score, the longer I"m spending
casting at it.
