& Flower - 16th December 2006: click for full results How to Score Match Points Duplicate bridge is usually scored by the ‘Match Point’ method. To score match points, you look at your own score and compare this with the scores achieved at the other tables by the players who held the same cards.For every pair whose score you beat on the same board you get 2 MPs, and for every pair you tie with you get 1 MP. If for example a board is played five times you will have your own result and four comparative results from other tables.. If you had the best score you will scored 8 MPs for four ‘wins’. In bridge parlance the 'top' on each board is 8. Of course if N-S get a top, the E-W at the same table get nothing, a 'bottom'. Match points are added up for each board so the maximum possible is the ‘top’ on each board times the number of boards played. The final match point score is usually expressed as a percentage of the theoretical maximum possible. In practice any score of more than 50% of this maximum is ‘above average’ and a good score.
