Perfect Landing Demonstration

I have a scoring method for grading landings

Was the touchdown on centerline? +10 points if yes, -5 if no, -20 if you missed the runway completely
Did you miss a taxiway? +10 if no, -5 if yes, -20 if the next available taxiway had a signal light
Is the aircraft reusable? +20 if immediately, -5 if the ELT needs to be checked, -20 if the aircraft is not immediately reusable, -50 if it will never be used again
Did you, any passenger, and/or instructor have an unexpected bowl movement? +10 if no, -20 if instructor evacuated bowels, -10 for each additional bowel movement
Was the touchdown within the first 3rd of the rwy? +10 if yes, 0 if in 2/3, -10 in final 3rd of runway.
Towers reaction? +10 if none, -5 for audible laughter, -10 for a "beauty of spring steel" comment, -50 for emergency team summoned
Did the tires squeal? +10 if a soft chirp, -5 for >5 chirps, -10 "like a banshee", -20 for each tire popped
Was wind a factor? +20 if no, +10 if "it made it interesting", -10 for >20 kt xwind, -30 for "must've been a huge gust during my flare"

Was an emergency declared? If yes, disregard all previous points and add 1,000
 
My initial check on with tower let's them know to roll the tug because I'm probably blowing 5 out of 6 tires.
 
Am I the only one that finds it depressing that almost every one of these videos is Pilot Induced Oscillation? (Which is really preventable!!! Arrrrggg!!! :bang:)

Edit: I've seen the London City Bae146 video before. EGLC has always struck me as a pretty hairy airport to operate out of to begin with, with a 4327x100 ft runway (1311x30m) and a ridiculous 7.5 degree glideslope for noise abatement. You can see they're coming in fast with speedbrakes deployed, with a high crosswind, and hit windshear. Sucks... and all the youtube comments say "ZOMG he should go back to flight school!" etc...

I can't find the video I have in mind, but maybe someone here knows how to find it. It was shot by a passenger sitting on the right side of a Swiss Avro landing in ZRH. The plane hits the ground so hard it bounces maybe 40-50 feet back into the air after the camera thrashes around, then they gun it for a go-around. Very crazy video, seems to have been taken down.
