Scoring

Scoring has two parts: main (bid vs tricks won) and bonus (only if you made your bid).

Part 1 — Bid vs tricks won

Bid of 1 or more

ResultPoints
Exact (bid = tricks won)+20 × bid
Miss−10 × |bid − won|

Missed bids earn no points for tricks won.

Example: Bid 3, win 3 → +60. Bid 2, win 4 → off by 2 → −20.

Bid of 0

Let n = hand size (cards dealt).

ResultPoints
Win 0 tricks+10 × n
Win ≥1 trick−10 × n

Example: Round 7, bid 0, win 0 → +70. Round 9, bid 0, win 2 → −90.

Part 2 — Bonuses (correct bid only)
