Bridge Scoring Chart

• Every contract from 1♣ to 7NT made exactly, undoubled, doubled and redoubled, at both vulnerabilities.
• Every undertrick penalty from one down to thirteen down, in the same six columns.
• The trick values, the overtrick values and the bonuses for part score, game, slams and making a doubled contract.
• The rubber bridge bonuses, including unfinished rubbers and honors.
• The IMP scale for team games, from a 20-point swing to 4000 and over.

Below is the made-contract part of the chart, the one most players look for. The penalty columns are on the undertrick penalties page and the team scale is on the IMP table.

Find the contract in the left column and read across to the vulnerability. Every entry assumes declarer took exactly the tricks bid. The scores are trick points plus one bonus. Clubs and diamonds count 20 a trick, hearts and spades 30, and notrump 40 for the first trick and 30 after. A contract worth less than 100 in trick points is a part score and earns 50. One worth 100 or more is a game and earns 300 not vulnerable or 500 vulnerable.

Two jumps stand out down the columns. The first is at game. 3♠ scores 140, but 4♠ scores 420, because the bonus changes from 50 to 300. The second is at slam, where a further 500 or 750 arrives for twelve tricks and 1000 or 1500 for all thirteen.

4♥ made exactly, vulnerable. Read the 4♥ row in the vulnerable column and the answer is 620, which is 120 in trick points plus the 500 game bonus.

2♠ doubled and made when not vulnerable. The chart gives 470 in the doubled column. Doubling turns 60 trick points into 120, which is a game, so the bonus is 300 and the 50 for making a doubled contract goes on top. A doubled part score that crosses 100 is the swing that catches defenders out.

3NT two down, doubled, vulnerable. The penalty part of the PDF reads 500 to the defenders. Had it been undoubled the cost would have been 200, and that difference is why doubling a vulnerable contract that is likely to fail pays.
