The manual gives the following example:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
(defvar gnus-default-adaptive-score-alist
'((gnus-unread-mark)
(gnus-ticked-mark (from 4))
(gnus-dormant-mark (from 5))
(gnus-del-mark (from -4) (subject -1))
(gnus-read-mark (from 4) (subject 2))
(gnus-expirable-mark (from -1) (subject -1))
(gnus-killed-mark (from -1) (subject -3))
(gnus-kill-file-mark)
(gnus-catchup-mark (from -1) (subject -1))))
As you see, each element in this alist has a mark as a key (either a
variable name or a "real" mark--a character). Following this key is a
random number of header/score pairs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What does a element of this list do if has NO header/score pairs? For
instance, what does `(gnus-unread-mark)' do? This does not seem to be
addressed.
Also, other questions include:
1) If more than one element applies to an article, are all
header/score pairs used? (I assume they are). For instance, if
an article is both read and marked dormant will the author get
raised 4+5 = 9 points?
2) If several messages have the same subject (or the same author)
will the scoring rules be applied multiple times? For instance,
if there are 26 articles in some thread which I didn't read but
catchup'd, would that subject be decreased by -1 or -26 points?
3) A list of all (reasonable) marks would be useful too.

Nothing, basically. :-)

Each article can have just a single readedness mark, so just a single
rule is applied to each article.

-26.

The marks in the example are all the marks that I would consider being
interesting to score on.
I've now added a couple more paragraphs to that section of the
manual.
