Is this a bridge tally card or a score sheet?
It is a score record for one four-deal series. It has no table movement or partner rotation schedule. Chicago follows rubber bridge rules with four-deal changes: neither side is vulnerable on deal one, the dealer's side on deals two and three, and both sides on deal four.
For a different trick-taking game, the Spades score sheet tracks bids, tricks and bags. The Pinochle score sheet keeps separate meld and trick-point columns.
How do I record Chicago bridge scores?
Record the contract, declarer and tricks made after each deal. Keep contract points separate from bonuses and penalties. Partscores can carry toward a game; making game cancels earlier partscores. A partscore remaining on the fourth deal receives 100. Game bonuses are 300 nonvulnerable or 500 vulnerable.
A passed-out deal does not count among the four: the same player deals again. Add the recorded scores to compare the sides at the end; the PDF does not calculate results.
What is the scoring chart for Chicago bridge?
Chicago uses the ordinary rubber bridge scoring table, with two changes from the ACBL's four-deal appendix: each game made earns its bonus on the spot, and a partscore left on the fourth deal earns 100. The values below come from Law 81 of the ACBL Laws of Rubber Bridge and that appendix. Vulnerability for each deal is already printed on the sheet.
| Score | Not vulnerable | Vulnerable |
|---|---|---|
| Each trick over six, clubs or diamonds | 20 | 20 |
| Each trick over six, hearts or spades | 30 | 30 |
| No trump, first trick over six / each one after | 40 / 30 | 40 / 30 |
| Game made (100 or more trick points) | 300 | 500 |
| Partscore left on the fourth deal | 100 | 100 |
| Small slam (12 tricks) bid and made | 500 | 750 |
| Grand slam (13 tricks) bid and made | 1,000 | 1,500 |
| Making a doubled / redoubled contract | 50 / 100 | 50 / 100 |
| Each overtrick, doubled / redoubled | 100 / 200 | 200 / 400 |
| Each undertrick, not doubled | 50 | 100 |
| Undertricks, doubled | 100 for the first, 200 each for the second and third, 300 each after | 200 for the first, 300 each after |
Doubling doubles the trick points, and redoubling multiplies them by four. Undertricks redoubled are twice the doubled figures. An undoubled overtrick scores the same as a trick in that suit. Honors are scored by either side: 100 for four of the five top trumps in one hand, 150 for all five, and 150 for all four aces in one hand at no trump.
