How party bridge runs
Four players to a table, playing a set number of deals each round. When the round ends, winners move up a table and partners change.
Each player keeps their own score rather than the table's, which is why everyone needs their own card.
At the end, totals are compared across all players and prizes go to the top few.
Above the line and below it
Only the tricks you bid and made go below the line. Everything else, overtricks, penalties, slams and honors, goes above it.
A hundred or more below the line is a game. You draw a line under it and start again. The first side to two games takes the rubber.
Minor suits score 20 a trick, majors 30, and no trump 40 for the first then 30.
Why this is not a duplicate sheet
Duplicate bridge needs travelers and pre-set vulnerability, and the ACBL already supplies those to its clubs.
This is for the party and progressive format that most social groups play, which is the one nobody prints materials for.
Large print
Check the large print box when you customize and the scoring grid comes out with noticeably bigger type and taller rows, which most people find easier to read across a table.
The grid is what grows. Reference panels and the fine print stay at their normal size, so nothing gets squeezed off the page, and the sheet still holds a sensible number of rounds.
