Re: part scores ( 02:29:32 TueJan 21 2003 ) Select Action Reply Quote post Report post Last posts Ignore user Global ignore Whisper Check out Law 77 for a complete scoring table. "For making any partscore - 50". This new player was obviously confused. He/she may have been thinking of: 1) The bonus for making a redoubled contract was increased from 50 to 100 pts - that was in 1987, a lot more than 4 years ago. or 2) In some variations of Chicago (four-deal), an unfulfilled partscore is worth 100 pts. Neither of these have anything to do with the ACBL. --- -Jim O'Neil Oak Park, IL

Re: part scores ( 02:32:11 TueJan 21 2003 ) Select Action Reply Quote post Report post Last posts Ignore user Global ignore Whisper Assuming that you are talking about Duplicate bridge then the part score bonus is 50 points, and has been for a very long time! The ACBL do not have the right to change it, since it is decided by the World Bridge Federation Laws Committee. I can guess why your friend is confused. Some time ago the bonus for making a redoubled contract was increased from 50 to 100 points - perhaps this is what he is thinking of? This was longer than four years ago though. --- David Stevenson <laws2@blakjak.com> Liverpool, England, UK http://blakjak.com/lws_menu.htm

Re: part scores ( 10:23:55 TueJan 21 2003 ) Select Action Reply Quote post Report post Last posts Whisper Is it possible the poster is asking about rubber bridge. According to the 1993 Rubber Bridge Laws the bonus for a remaining partscore is 100 points. It used to be 50 points but I don't know when it changed.

If anyone needs a look at the Rubber Laws - or any other Laws for that matter, including duplicate Laws in foreign languages - you will find the links to them at Law book links --- David Stevenson <laws2@blakjak.com> Liverpool, England, UK http://blakjak.com/lws_menu.htm
