Chicago with Russian Scoring

[ng:)]

I suggest another scoring format at Main Club tables, called as Chicago with Russian Scoring. This system differs from the Chicago only with calculation of points. It eliminates a little some luck while playing the game.

 

In a pack there are 40 points. A pair that gets more points finds its theoretical value in following table:

 

Expected points:

 

HCP NV Vul

 

20 0 0

21 50 50

22 70 70

23 110 110

24 200 290

25 300 440

26 350 520

27 400 600

28 430 630

29 460 660

30 490 690

31 600 900

32 700 1050

33 900 1350

34 1000 1500

35 1100 1650

36 1200 1800

37 1300 1950

38 1300 1950

39 1300 1950

40 1300 1950

 

This is the value of expected points which a pair should get with the specified number of HCPs in hand. It is compared with the real value of the received points. The difference between those values is transformed to IMP's. For example if a pair received 50 points more than it was predicted, they get 2 IMP's. If the difference is -170, which means a pair had less than expected they lose 3 IMP's. The rest of rules are exactly the same as in the Chicago system.
