This page notes what the score is in Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links, the list of conditions, and how to gain high score.
update 15/02/2017

Score

Based on Duel Assessments

The amount of score is based on the conditions players achieve in a duel. The more amount of score can be obtained as the achieved assessments are difficult.

One Reward by 1,000 Score

Players can obtain one reward per 1000 score when winning a duel. For example, when the score is 2000 or more but less than 3000, you can get 2 rewards.

Tips

Over 6,000 score

Quick Victory and Comeback Victory can be active at the same time and gives you score of 2,500. Not easy to achieve two of them in a duel, but not impossible.

Over 9,999 Damage and Cards on the Brink

To achieve those two is the most popular way to get high score from Legendary Duelists. See the list of cards that can increase their ATK over 10,000.

Quick Victory and No Damage

Quick Victory and No Damage are the easiest conditions to achieve. Using high stats monster cards and equip spell may also allow you to achieve Over 3000 Damage.

Depends on your opponent

If your opponent use spell cards decreasing your life points, LP on the Brink will be easier to achieve. Understanding cards in the opponent's deck is important.

If I use a prismatic card as a tribute for a ritual, does that count as "Played Prismatic Card"?

Not unless you normal summoned the glossy card to the field first then used it as a rutual summon material.

Probably a ridiculous question, but if you set a glossy/prismatic monster card in face-down defensive position, will it count as being played to your duel assessment?

However if you set a prismatic twin headed behemoth and let it get destroyed and special summon it back to the field during the end phase you get that assessment achievement.

I'm having an issue where I use the vassal + union attack + spell reclamation combo for over 10000 damage to win game but in the duel assessment, I don't get the 1000 points for victory by effect damage. Any reason why this is happening?

Why sometimes I don´t get the effect damage only assessment using Gravekeeper´s Vassal?

you have to beat your opponent using effect damage only, which is from vassal. If you inflict any battle damage then you will lose the bonus.

Because DEY SO GLOSSEH!!!~

Also, 100 x # of Glossy cards played in the Duel. So, easy Math, 10 Glossy cards were played or Activated.

"Victory by Effect Damage Only" can be also obtained by doing damage only with effects and winning the duel by a Deck Out Victory. In other words, you can use a Raimei and win by Deck Out without causing battle damage and you'll get a "Victory by Effect Damage Only" reward.

Monsters that are special summoned through another card effect don't get the assesment points "played a Glossy or Prismatic". That means Glossy or Prismatic Fusion and Ritual Monsters dont get assessment points.

Yes they do. I have glossy fusions and always get assessment points for playing them.
