Base = | points taken − bid | + 1. Winners gain, losers lose. The Declarer counts ×2; the Friend and Defenders ×1. No-Trump, No Friend, Run (all 20 points) and Back Run (Defenders take 10+) each double it — multipliers stack.

3Examples
| Hand | Base | Declarer | Friend | Each defender |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bid 14, took 16 → made | 3 | +6 | +3 | −3 |
| Bid 15, took 12 → failed | 4 | −8 | −4 | +4 |
| No Friend, bid 15, took 16 | 2 | +8 | – | −4 |
With a Friend, the five scores always add up to zero (Declarer 2 + Friend 1 = 3 Defenders), which makes it easy to check on paper.
