Lesson#1
So far, we've focused on bidding and playing the cards. But how you score in bridge dramatically changes your strategy. In this deck, we'll explore the three main ways to score: Rubber, Duplicate Matchpoints, and Teams, also known as IMPs.
Lesson#2
Let's start with Rubber Bridge, the traditional way to play at home. The main goal is to win a 'rubber', which is achieved when your partnership is the first to win two 'games'. A game is won by scoring 100 or more points from making contracts.
Quiz#3
In Rubber Bridge, how many games must a partnership win to secure the rubber?

Two games

Quiz#4
In Rubber Bridge, how many points from successful contracts are needed to win a single game?

In bridge, points for making your contract are scored 'below the line' and count towards your game. Minor suit contracts in clubs or diamonds score 20 points per trick over six. Major suit contracts in hearts or spades score 30 points per trick over six.
Quiz#6
When making a contract in a minor suit like clubs or diamonds, how many points do you score per trick bid and made?
