THURSDAY 9 JANUARY
1964 9th day - 357 days to come
Jerry Frederick sent me ads for the following books:-
MY BEST PUZZLES IN LOGIC AND REASONING by Hubert Phillips
MY BEST PUZZLES IN MATHEMATICS by Hubert Phillips
CALIBAN'S PROBLEM BOOK: MATHEMATICAL, INFERENTIAL, AND
CRYPTOGRAPHIC PUZZLES by Hubert Phillips
MATHEMATICAL FUN, GAMES, AND PUZZLES by Jack Frohlichstein
All published by Dover (filed in Book Ads).
At Brentanno's saw SKIL-SKOR a method of weighting
the point count in hands to measure the performance
of the players (-somewhat similar to my honor-count
bonus system).
Play is the same as in regular rubber BRIDGE.
Players all secretly record their Point score count at
the beginning of a hand using the following table:
A-4
K-3 Deductions
Q-2 No Aces - 1
J-1 Unguarded King - 1
Void-3 Queen with 1 Guard - 1
Singleton-2
Doubleton-1
All 4 Aces-1
A record is kept of the point count as well as
the points score. Limit a rubber to 6 hands and
if not finished - score as unfinished. Then
pivot partners until each has had each for a
partner.
Compare the player's honor score point count with his point
score (To make sense the partners would have
to add their honor score point count - just as their point
score is earned jointly.) If the player has a
point score 10 times the honor point count he gets
a "skil-skor" of 100. This varies in proportion
to the relationship between the two points.
(For example if the relationship is 20 times
the "skil-skor" is 200; if the relationship is 5
times the "skil-skor is 50; etc.)
My BRIDGE bonus system.- Scoring is closer to duplicate
than rubber. Partne A set consists of 4 hands.
In the 1st hand the de no one is vulnerable. In the
2nd & 3rd hands the dealing side is vulnerable. In
the 4th hand both sides are vulnerable. After the 4
hands pivot the partners. Do this twice so that
each plays with each other as a partner.
Each hand is scored individually. Trick, slam,
& set point are standard. In addition, there is a
bonus of 50 points for making a partial; 300 points
(cont. on 1/11)
