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.

Something is wrong with the 'comeback victory' criteria. My LP dropped to 700 while my opponent had 4000, yet I didn't get the bonus. Not the first time this has happened

Yes, I recovered lifepoints, but how does that cancel the bonus? It was still a comeback victory by the criteria listed here. Under what specific circumstances is the bonus lost?

Well, I've figured it out. It's probably a bug. If you meet the comeback criteria, then increase your life points so that it goes above your opponents, you lose the bonus for whatever reason. It doesn't matter if you decrease their life points, but you can't increase yours above theirs. It's stupid but that's what it seems is happening

It is just something I noticed with my Cereb/Spirit deck, thinking it was sucky but a given counter to gaining way over 10,000 LP back. XD

You can use "Wicked flame Baou" to summon "Guardian Baou" Power it up with sword of deep seated, black pendant or other equip card. Guradian Baou gains 1000 ATK for each monster it battles and sends to the graveyard and also negates any monster effects

Victory By Effect Damage Only can also be achieved by dealing any amount of effect damage, then winning by deck-out.

I thought so. This is significant and should be added in

If you lose a fight the points per Glossy card used becomes 50. I do not know about Prismatic cards.
