The app checks the math
Three examples of scores that could not have happened, and what the app knows about a hand and a round.
Fewer arguments. Faster rounds.
What the video says
What it catches
The app checks the math. Before anybody moves on, it makes sure the points could really have happened.
Here are a few examples of what it catches. Playing with one in the barn, this player put in 14 for a round to 10.
Here the round scored 2 points, but a loner was logged, so the app catches it.
In this example, a player puts in 33 points over 8 hands, but 8 hands can only make 32. Each of these stops the score from being saved until it’s corrected, right at the table, so fewer mistakes reach the standings.
What it knows
The score checking knows what every hand is worth: singles, taking all five tricks, euchres, reneges, the standard loner and the 5-point loner, the 5-4 split, and 4 points for reneging or getting euchred on a loner.
The app knows how far a round can go: the target score, one in the barn, and the number of hands. If the numbers can’t have happened, the players make the corrections at the table.
When scoring, you choose how strict you want to be, and the app does the arithmetic.
