Clabber - Scoring

Scoring

At the end of the play, each team totals the value of the cards in the tricks that they won, plus any score for melds or Bell. The team that takes the last trick scores an extra 10 points. If the team that made trumps in the bidding has more points than their opponents, then each team scores the points they made. If the scores are equal, or if the team that made trumps have fewer points than their opponents, the trump making team scores zero points, written as "XX" on the score sheet and known as "turkey tracks", while the other team scores whatever points they won in tricks and melds. In this case the team that made trump is said to be "set" or "hicked". If the trump makers' opponents score no points, their zero is written on the score sheet as "-". The game ends when either team's cumulative score reaches 500 points or more.
