What is a duplicate bridge scoring table?

The duplicate bridge scoring table is the points distribution list used while scoring a game of duplicate bridge in a bridge club or a tournament. There are dozens of combinations and score possibilities in duplicate bridge, so standardized scoring is essential.

In duplicate bridge, the cards dealt get played by numerous tables in the exact same hands they were originally dealt. This requires the use or bridge boards so that the cards can be moved to different tables as the east-west pair moves. The duplicate bridge scoring table is used to add up and compare scores from all the tables involved in the club or the tournament. This allows a standard counting method to declare the winner.
