2. A game consists of thirty points obtained by tricks alone,
exclusive of any points counted for honours, chicane or slam.
3. Every hand is played out, and any points in excess of thirty
points necessary for the game are counted.
4. Each trick above six counts two points when spades are trumps,
four points when clubs are trumps, six points when diamonds are
trumps, eight points when hearts are trumps, and twelve points when
there are no trumps.
5. Honours are ace, king, queen, knave and ten
of the trump suit; or the aces when no trump is
declared.
6. Honours are credited to the original holders and are valued as
follows:
+---------------------------------+-----+-----+-----+-----+------+
| | | | | | NO |
| DECLARATION. | ♠ | ♣ | ♦ | ♥ |TRUMPS|

7. If a player and his partner make thirteen tricks, independently of
any tricks gained by the revoke penalty, they score Grand Slam and
add forty points to their honour count.
8. Little slam is twelve tricks similarly scored, and adds twenty
points to the honour count.
9. Chicane (one hand void of trumps) is equal in value to three
honours, _i.e._ if partner of player having chicane scores honours
he adds the value of three honours to his honour score, while, if
the adversaries score honours, it deducts an equal value from their
honour score. Double Chicane (a player and his partner both void of
trumps) is equal in value to four honours, and the value thereof may
be deducted from the total honour score of the adversaries.
10. The value of honours, slam, little slam, or chicane, is in nowise
affected by doubling or redoubling.
11. At the conclusion of a rubber the scores for tricks, honours,
Chicane, and Slam, obtained by each side are added, and one hundred
points are added to the score of the winners of the rubber. The
difference between the completed scores is the number of points won
or lost by the winners of the rubber.
12. If an erroneous score affecting tricks be proven, such mistake
must be corrected prior to the conclusion of the game in which it has
occurred, and such game shall not be considered as concluded until
the following deal has been completed and the trump declared, unless
it be that the game is the last one of the rubber,--then the score is
subject to inquiry until an agreement between the sides (as to the
value of the rubber) shall have been reached.
13. If an erroneous score affecting honours, chicane or slam be
proven, such mistake may be corrected at any time before the score of
the rubber has been made up and agreed upon.
