Story: 6.5/10 :: Was brilliant in the beginning, but the story is lacking these days...

Characters: 9/10 :: Some loveable characters in there, and great designs.

Artwork: 9.5/10 :: Very nice, action and movement is done well, it almost feel like its moving at times. But a few chapters had lacking art a while back, but thats fixed now.

Enjoyment: 8.5/10 :: I actually enjoyed it quite alot, it was a fun read from the start.

Pacing/Panels: 4.5/5 :: Some chapters seem kind of filler-ish, but apart from that it was all good.

Originality: 4/5 :: Battle manga, but with sports involved? That deserves it some points for mixing the two.
