A bridge scoring chart lists the duplicate score for every contract made exactly, by level, strain and vulnerability, plus the undertrick penalties. Find your contract's row, pick the column for your vulnerability, and add any overtricks.
The tables below are the whole chart on one page. Print this page or keep it open on your phone at the table. For anything unusual, such as a redoubled overtrick, BridgeDummy's free bridge score calculator does the sum for you: pick the contract, the vulnerability and the result, and it shows the score along with IMP and matchpoint converters.
What Is on the Chart
The chart has four parts:
- Contracts made, undoubled, not vulnerable and vulnerable.
- Contracts made, doubled.
- Overtrick values.
- Undertrick penalties.
All numbers are duplicate scores: trick points, plus 50 for a part score or 300 / 500 for a game, plus slam bonuses, plus 50 for making a doubled contract. Minors are clubs and diamonds; majors are hearts and spades.
Contracts Made Exactly, Undoubled
| Level | Minor, not vul | Major, not vul | NT, not vul | Minor, vul | Major, vul | NT, vul |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 70 | 80 | 90 | 70 | 80 | 90 |
| 2 | 90 | 110 | 120 | 90 | 110 | 120 |
| 3 | 110 | 140 | 400 | 110 | 140 | 600 |
| 4 | 130 | 420 | 430 | 130 | 620 | 630 |
| 5 | 400 | 450 | 460 | 600 | 650 | 660 |
| 6 | 920 | 980 | 990 | 1370 | 1430 | 1440 |
| 7 | 1440 | 1510 | 1520 | 2140 | 2210 | 2220 |
Bold scores are games. Levels 6 and 7 include the slam bonus (500 / 750 for a small slam, 1000 / 1500 for a grand slam).
Contracts Made Exactly, Doubled
| Level | Minor, not vul | Major, not vul | NT, not vul | Minor, vul | Major, vul | NT, vul |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 140 | 160 | 180 | 140 | 160 | 180 |
| 2 | 180 | 470 | 490 | 180 | 670 | 690 |
| 3 | 470 | 530 | 550 | 670 | 730 | 750 |
| 4 | 510 | 590 | 610 | 710 | 790 | 810 |
| 5 | 550 | 650 | 670 | 750 | 850 | 870 |
| 6 | 1090 | 1210 | 1230 | 1540 | 1660 | 1680 |
| 7 | 1630 | 1770 | 1790 | 2330 | 2470 | 2490 |
Doubling doubles the trick points, so 2♥ or 2♠ doubled (120) and 3♣ or 3♦ doubled (120) become games.
Overtricks and Undertricks
| Each overtrick | Not vulnerable | Vulnerable |
|---|---|---|
| Undoubled, minor | 20 | 20 |
| Undoubled, major or NT | 30 | 30 |
| Doubled | 100 | 200 |
| Redoubled | 200 | 400 |
| Down | Not vul | Not vul, doubled | Vul | Vul, doubled |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 50 | 100 | 100 | 200 |
| 2 | 100 | 300 | 200 | 500 |
| 3 | 150 | 500 | 300 | 800 |
| 4 | 200 | 800 | 400 | 1100 |
| Each extra | +50 | +300 | +100 | +300 |
Redoubled undertricks are twice the doubled numbers.
How to Read It
- Find the row for the level of your contract.
- Choose the column for the strain and your side's vulnerability. Use the doubled table if the contract was doubled.
- Add overtricks from the overtrick table, one value per extra trick.
- If you went down, ignore the first two tables and use the undertrick table. The defenders get those points.
TipRead the vulnerability of the side that declared. If you defend and declarer goes down, use declarer's vulnerability, not yours.
Three Hands Scored From the Chart
Hand 1: you (South) bid 4♥, vulnerable, and West doubles. You take 11 tricks.
Hand 1: 4♥ doubled, vulnerable, 11 tricks. The doubled table gives 790 for a vulnerable major at the four level. One doubled overtrick, vulnerable, adds 200. Total: +990.
Hand 2: 3NT, not vulnerable, 11 tricks. The undoubled table gives 400. Two overtricks in notrump add 2 x 30. Total: +460.
Hand 3: 5♦, vulnerable, 9 tricks. You are two down, undoubled and vulnerable. The undertrick table gives -200, which the defenders score.
Practice: Reading the Scoring Chart
Not vulnerable, you play 2♠ doubled and make exactly eight tricks. What do you score?
For how each part of the score works, read bridge scoring. For the penalty side in depth, including sacrifices, see undertrick penalties. To see how these scores turn into matchpoints and IMPs, read matchpoints vs IMPs.
