Turning in the Score

A Captain's Job. The captain of the winning team fills out a Win/Loss ticket, which will be on the table. It indicates the winning and losing team numbers and the number of IMPs margin for the winners. The captain should find the losing team and get their team captain's initial on the card, to indicate their concurrence with the result. The card is then taken to the central scoring table, where the director will later assign another team to be your opponents for the next round.

Wins, Losses and Ties

A Win. You must have a 'clear win' of 2 or more IMPs for a full score of one (1) on a match.

A Tie. If your teams are tied, you each get a tie, worth 1/2.

Winning and Losing Ties. If you have a one IMP winning margin, you get a 'winning tie' and the other side gets a 'losing tie'. Winning ties are counted as 3/4 of a win and losing ties as 1/4.

In this way, your total score at the end of a day may be 6 3/4 or 2 1/4. Wins, losses, ties, winning & losing ties are used to match teams with similar records throughout the day.
