If you win 8-9 rounds, you are the best knight in the kingdom! Congrats!
If you win 6-7 rounds, you are an amazing knight. Fabulous!
If you win 4-5 rounds, you are a great knight. Good work!
If you win 2-3 rounds, you are an okay knight, but go back to knight school.
If you win 0-1 rounds, you have to hand in your armor. Oh no! (But you can try again!)
