Which three-player pinochle rules does the sheet use?
The sheet follows Pagat's three-player version. Aces, tens and kings are counters worth 10 each; the last trick adds 10, giving 250 trick points. A failed bidder loses the bid. A nonbidder needs a counter to keep meld points. Agree the target score before play.
Keep this full scoring scale throughout the game rather than mixing it with the divided-by-ten scale. The Rummy score sheet uses another scoring system, while the Chicago bridge record tracks four deals and vulnerability.
What is the pinochle scoring chart for melds?
These meld values are the ones Pagat gives for this three-player game. A double meld has two of every card in it, such as two jacks of diamonds and two queens of spades for a double pinochle.
| Meld | Cards | Single | Double |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rope (sequence) | A, 10, K, Q, J of trumps | 150 | 1,500 |
| Marriage in trumps | K, Q of trumps | 40 | 80 |
| Marriage | K, Q of another suit | 20 | 40 |
| Deece | 9 of trumps | 10 | 20 |
| Pinochle | J of diamonds and Q of spades | 40 | 300 |
| Aces around | An ace of each suit | 100 | 1,000 |
| Kings around | A king of each suit | 80 | 800 |
| Queens around | A queen of each suit | 60 | 600 |
| Jacks around | A jack of each suit | 40 | 400 |
One card can count in a rope or marriage, in a pinochle and in an around at the same time, but not in two melds of the same kind. A rope already includes the trump marriage, so it scores 150, not 190. Some tables score a double rope as only 300, so agree on doubles before the first deal.
How do I fill in the pinochle score sheet?
Write the bid and trump before play, then enter the meld and trick points. Calculate the hand score using the agreed rules and add it to the prior total. For a continued game, copy the prior total onto Starting total. Select additional sheets per player when needed.
The generator leaves the score cells blank and does not evaluate melds or bids. Print at Actual size with landscape orientation. The large print games collection has the other printable score tables.
