Scoring summary

  • Enter each team's bid: the total of the partners' number bids. Leave any nil bidders out of it.
  • Enter the team's total tricks taken, then how many nils were made and how many failed. If a nil bidder took tricks, enter those tricks in the failed-nil box as well.
  • A made bid scores 10 per trick bid plus 1 per bag. A set bid loses 10 per trick bid. A nil made scores +100 and a nil failed scores -100.
  • Every 10 bags costs 100 points, and the bag count drops by 10.
  • The first team to 500 wins. A lose line (for example -200) is a house rule: the keeper has it off until you set it.
  • A failed nil bidder's tricks do not count toward the partner's bid but count as bags (the standard rule). Enter them in the failed-nil box and the keeper handles it.
