How is the score calculated ?

Don't stake on a validator because it has a high Power Ranking or because it has 0% fee. It will be a mistake. There are other important criteria's. A validator gets a high score because it has :

High Minimum Self Delegation
From the Cosmos FAQ :
Minimum amount of CRO the validator candidate need to have bonded at all time. If the validator's self-bonded stake falls below this limit, their entire staking pool (i.e. all its delegators) will unbond. This parameter exists as a safeguard for delegators. Indeed, when a validator misbehaves, part of their total stake gets slashed. This included the validator's self-delegateds stake as well as their delegators' stake. Thus, a validator with a high amount of self-delegated CROs has more skin-in-the-game than a validator with a low amount. The minimum self-bond amount parameter guarantees to delegators that a validator will never fall below a certain amount of self-bonded stake, thereby ensuring a minimum level of skin-in-the-game. This parameter can only be increased by the validator operator.
High Self Delegation
Low Missed Blocks
When a validator missed blocks, it doesn't get rewards. If a validator missed 50% blocks it get jailed for 24h and doesn't get rewarded. You should avoid validators with too many missing blocks.
Low Commission, Max and Max Change
High Number of delegators
Low Power Percentage
Better score with power percentage < 1%
Malus for validator with power percentage > 1%
Decentralization is important. 10 validators can't have 90% of the power. There are 100 active validators. So in a perfect decentralized chain, all validators should have 1% power each.
