How this calculator scores
This calculator uses standard partnership Spades scoring: a made contract scores 10 per bid trick; overtricks are bags worth 1 each; a missed contract loses 10 per bid trick; 10 accumulated bags cost 100 points and reset; Nil is +100/−100 and Blind Nil is +200/−200. The "contract bid" is your team's non-Nil bid total — if a player bid Nil, enter the other player's bid as the contract.
Some groups use different Nil values, bag thresholds, or a winning margin. If your house rules differ, adjust the result by hand and confirm before a rated game. See Spades scoring and the full rules.
