We use bridge scoring, every boards is vulnerable. one down you minus 100, game and making you got 620. the idea is to encourage student to bid game more often, it is big different between 170 and 620. we just print score table and remove non vulnerable contract from the table score. every player can see the score table, no need to memorized. But we do tell them there is big different if you bid 3NT/4H/4S/5C and 5D.I Duplicate HOOL tournament organized in Surabaya, Indonesia
