That's a kind offer...but not necessary.
BootCamp games can be scored normally.
If you both choose to play a Mentor game, then that is different.
Generally though, Mentor games are played to help someone with very limited SP, or PBEM experience get through their first games(s) without getting a total thrashing and having no idea what happened.
The idea is that the Mentor (usually a senior SP ladder player) is awarded some Bonus ladder points for helping a newbie so the Ladder result can be a pre-negotiated draw...though again, that is not entirely necessary.
Really...it is about negotiating before the game and being happy to help someone ease their way into the community.
I have a feeling that you two would be fine playing a normal battle eh
Carry On....
