Alfred M. Gruenther, U. S. A, on the new contract bridge rules. Lieutenant Gruenther is one of the nation’s leading bridge tournament referees. He officiated at the Lenz-Culbertson match. Today he explains the changes in scoring.) By LIEUT. ALFRED M. GRUENTHER, U. S. A. (Written for The Associated Press) Scoring changes made in the new International Contract Bridge Code which went the laws. 'mtu effect November 1 may cause average players more trouble than other alterations of ]n'm_\ _first two articles I explained the new penalties for infringements of the rules. l-‘ollewmg is an analysis of the new scoring system: SCORING CHANGES of counting each no trump trick as 35 points the new values are 30 points for the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th tricks and 40 points for the 2nd, 4th and 6th tricks. The score for two, four, or six no trump is the same as the old score (70, 140, 210), while the values of one, three, five and seven no trump are five points less than under the old code. Thus, five no trump formerly counted 175. Now it is 170. Under the new code all “fives” are automatically eliminated from the last digit of a score. The mistakes in addition thus will be materially decreased. A three no trump contract is val- ued at 100 points, the same as a game contract in diamonds or clubs. Heretofore the five point advantage in favor of the three no trump contract stimulated much unnatural bidding in dupli- cate in the endeavor to play a hand at a contract of three no trump. Omisslon of Premiums for Making Doubled Contracts—The old laws gave the bidding side too much|_ of an advantage, since the De- clarer’s side had so much more to gain, if a doubled contract was made, than the adversaries if the contract was defeated. Thus un- |, der the old laws, if a contract of four hearts, doubled not vulner- able, was made the Declarer gained 170 points extra while the adversaries could gain but 50 points extra if the contract was defeated one trick. TUnder the new rule the Declarer’s gain is only 120 points. Reduced Premium for Undoubled Overtricks—The premium for un- doubled overtricks has been re- duced from 50 points per trick to the corresponding odd trick value, Thus, if a player bids two Thearts and makes three hearts, he will score 60 points below the line and 30 points above the line. The premium for overtricks in a doubled con- tract remains unchanged, 1. e. 100 points for each doubled over- trick when not vulnerable and 200 points for each doubled over- ', trick when vulnerable. } This change has been in ef- fect, in all duplicate bridge con- tracts four years and has proved very popular. Changes in Undertrick Penaltics —The new code has increased somewhat the doubled, not vul-‘ nerable undertrick penalties. The ' undoubled mon-vilnerable penal- ties remain at 50 points per trick. This was one of the ma- jor defects under the old laws, since it encouraged sacrifice bid-v ding to en undesirable extent.| However, the new penalties will | allow the non-vulnerable nlde. considerable latitude in overbid-' ding activities. l A comparison of the ald andw new penalties follows: ! Non-Vulnerable - Under-Trick Pen-. alties—Doubled New Old 1 Laws Laws Down 1 . .. 100 100 l Down 2 . 200 i Down 3 .. 400 = o Down 5 1000 Down 6 . 1400 | Coleman’s OPEN T ONIGHT Saturday Specials DRESSES C0ATS BLOUSES WOOL COME IN AND THESE LOW-PRICED BARGAINS SAVE at leman’s HOSE TONIGHT' SEE The penalty schedule for the dou- bled undertricks is: 100 for first undertrick. 150 for second undertrick. 200 for third undertrick. and so on with an in- crease of 50 points for each succeeding trick. Vulnerable Undertrick Penalties— | The penalties which a vulnerable]‘ side loses on undoubled under-| tricks are the same as the 1055{ suffered by a non-vulnerable | side when doubled. If a vul-| nerable side is doubled the pen- alties are twice the undoubled penalties. Thus, the increase is| a regular one. The new and the | old vulnerable undertrick pen- alties follow: New Laws Old Lawsl Un- Dbl'd. Un- Dbra, Dbl'd Dbl Down 1 10 20 10 200 Down 2 250 500 300 Down 3 450 900 500 Fredl Down 4 700 1400 700 1400 DoDn 5 000 2000 900 1800 The maximum. penalty possible un- der the new laws is 20,800 points, if one bids a grand slam redou- | bled and vulnerable and fails to take a single trick. Grand Slam Premiums—The non- vulnerable grand slam premium has been increased from 1,000 to 1,500; premium from 1,500 to 2,250. Un- der the old laws expert players refused to consider bidding grand slam on any'.mnq except a| cinch holding since ‘the increased | bonus over the small slam pre mium did not justify the increas. ed risk. The new laws balance the greater risk with the in- creased premium. The small slam bonuses remain unchanged. >, AT 'THE HOTELS ., Gastineau H. M. McEven, Prince Rupert, | B. C.; N. A.
