Tens across the board

I don't understand this expression. I just heard "having X as a partner is ten across the board [x2]" and clearly it was a positive thing. A quick search on Google get me a lot of examples but no explanations. Instances like "I think I deserved ten's across the board....", "The emphass should be on the work of a subject or interir- local plan nature, rather than long-ten-across-the-board"(sic).

What does it mean?

Thank you in advance.
