Say which column belongs to whom
Keep the players in the same clockwise order for the whole session. Read their names back before entering the counts. A role changes from hand to hand; a scorebook column should continue to identify the same person.
Check the finished hand
The scorekeeper asks for all sixteen tricks of a completed hand. Check each player’s count before submitting. It calculates differences from the seat targets, but it cannot verify the physical play, legality of a card or accuracy of the count you supplied.
Preserve a useful note
Use the optional note for an agreement or a correction relevant to that hand. Avoid passwords, private account details and unnecessary personal information. A good note should explain the record tomorrow without becoming a transcript of the whole evening.
Keep a copy
