The material on this
page is identical to that found in Scoring 1 except for the addition of
the rules of VULNERABILITY.
There are many different forms of Bridge:
Rubber Bridge
Duplicate Pairs
Chicago
Team of Four
Though they all have different methods
of scoring, the
basic Trick Score is common to all forms
of Bridge.
A Game is made when the Trick Score is
100 points or more.
TRICK SCORE
GAME
CLUBS/DIAMONDS
20 points per trick
5 Level 5x20 = 100
HEARTS/SPADES
30 points per trick
4 Level 4x30 = 120
NO TRUMP
40 points for first trick then
3 Level 40 + 30 +30 = 100
30 points per trick
Pair
and Team games are for tournaments while Rubber and Chicago can be played
privately at home. Rubber bridge requires that a team win two games
to win the Rubber and get a bonus.
Once a team
wins one game they are on the verge of winning the rubber. This condition
(of having won one game) is called VULNERABILITY. To be vulnerable
means penalties and bonuses are increased. The use of Vulnerability
is in all forms or Bridge scoring. Below are the bonuses and penalties
for NOT VULnerable vs. VULnerable.

MAKING DOUBLED CONTRACTS
When a contract is doubled, and made, the
Trick Score gets doubled.
2 u
doubled and made: 20 x 2 = 40 Trick Score.
40 x 2 = 80 is the Trick Score doubled.
Add the Part Score bonus: 50 points.
Plus the Making the Contract bonus: 50
points.
Total Score: 80 + 50 + 50 = 180 points.
It is possible to double a contract into
a game.
2 $
doubled and made: 30 x 2 = 60 Trick Score.
60 x 2 = 120 is Trick Score doubled which
is game.*
Add the Game bonus: 300 points.
Plus the Making the Contract bonus: 50
points
Total: 120 + 300 + 50 = 470 points.
* Only if the Trick Score doubled = 100
points or
more is there a Game
bonus. Over Tricks are
added after. ie 2 #
doubled making 5 does not
get a Game bonus.
2 #
x = 40 x 2 =80 Trick Score doubled
30 x 2 = 60 Over Tricks
60 x 2 =120 Over Tricks
doubled
Add the Part Score bonus:
50 points.
Plus the Making the Contract
bonus: 50 points.
Total Score: 80 + 120 + 50
+ 50 = 300
You cannot double a person
into a slam. Slams
must be bid and made to get
the bonus.
ie 3 u
doubled making 3 gets the Game bonus
and Making the Contract bonuses
only.
Total Score: 120 + 300 + 50
= 470
