As a reminder on scoring:
- +10 points for each successful trick bid if team's total bid is met
- -10 points for each trick bid if team's bid is not met (regardless of total tricks won)
- +1 point for each bag (overtrick) beyond bid
- -100 points for accumulating 10 bags (counting restarts at 0)
- +100 points for successful nil bid (no tricks won)/ +200 for successful blind nil bid (1 plaver)
- -100 points for a failed nil bid or -200 for a failed blind nil bid
