I'm confused about how to reference each text field back in my controller. I've tried params[:scores] and params[:scores][rating] along with many other attempts that I can't remember now.

To see what's been returned in your params hash, you can use params.inspect. Sometimes I get lazy and just put 'flunk' as the first line in the method the form's submitted to.

I also strongly recommend using (as was recommended to me when I started out) LiveHTTPHeaders, an extension for Firefox that will show you what was POSTed to the application.
