## What is Bridge Scorepad?

Take the busy-work out of scoring Rubber Bridge, Chicago (4-deal) and/or Duplicate Bridge - let your iPhone/iPad do it for you with this flexible scorepad.  Whether you are a veteran bridge player or someone who's just getting into the game, the Bridge Scorepad can help you better enjoy the game and enhance your understanding of the nuances of scoring.  


- Support for traditional Rubber Bridge scoring (i.e. We/They), Chicago Style (4-deal) AND Duplicate Bridge.

- Rubber Bridge scorepad features:
  + The familiar look of a traditional scoresheet with a graphical notation of the contract and results.
  + See at a glance which teams are vulnerable, which teams have game legs on and their respective total scores. 
  + Tap on an entry in the scoresheet to view a detailed explanation of the scoring.  (You can edit the details of a previously played contract if you need to.)
  + Play multiple rubbers in one scoresheet, or create a new scoresheet for each rubber.

- Chicago Bridge scorepad features:
  + Graphical 'Chukker' to keep track of the deal.
  + Support for both Chicago and Cavendish vulnerability systems.
  + Support for traditional Chicago scoring and Duplicate style scoring.
  + The familiar look of a traditional scoresheet with a graphical notation of the contract and results.
  + See at a glance which teams are vulnerable, which teams have game legs on (Chicago scoring) and their respective total scores. 
  + Tap on an entry in the scoresheet to view a detailed explanation of the scoring.  (You can edit the details of a previously played contract if you need to.)

- Duplicate Bridge scorepad features:
  + Enter your Boards one at a time, in batches (e.g. by round) or all at once. 
  + Personalize the scoresheet with a description and your player/team ID to highlight your team's scores in the scoresheet.
  + Quickly differentiate between complete and incomplete boards.
  + Tap on a completed board in the scoresheet to view a detailed explanation of the scoring (and edit the board if necessary).

- Personalize and share your scoresheets:
  + Personalize scoresheets with player names and a scoresheet description.
  + Email a PDF copy or print(*) scoresheets directly from your device.
  + When scoring Rubber or Chicago on an iPad, there is a "Large font" user preference to help others at the table better see the scoresheet too.

- Sum scores across scoresheets to track players over a period of time (currently for Rubber Bridge and Chicago Bridge only).  The report includes a grand total by player as well as subtotals by the dates of the scoresheets (i.e. subtotals for all the scoresheets played on a single date).  The report can be emailed or printed (*) directly from your device.

- Includes a reference copy of the standard rules for scoring contract bridge (based on the 2004 International Laws of Contract Bridge).   

- Standalone scoring calculator (on the 'backside' of the scoring rules). Use it to score a hand or simply to better understand the nuances of contract bridge scoring.

### 5/5 — Absolutely perfect

*2025-10-27*

I am always impressed by application developers who are able to remain focused on delivering outstanding functionality. Developers who are not continually fiddling with apps to add “features” or tweak what works great to “make it better.” ScorePad, and its developer (Yannis S. Arvantis) is just such an app. It delivers straightforward functionality that has not wavered in its excellence for many years. If you are looking for a Bridge score keeping app that will replace paper and pencil and let you see your game history at the touch of a button then here it is. 

If Yannis ever asks me for a modest contribution to ensure it’s continued availability then I will be the first to make that contribution. 

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

### 5/5 — Really good app

*2019-01-27*

It keeps score better than I do. it’s very easy to use, almost intuitive if you’ve been keeping score with paper and pencil. I was sold after the first use and haven’t gone back. It even taught me that I’d been scoring penalties (doubles and redoubled) incorrectly. And it looks just like a paper score pad so you’ll be able to read it from the start. If you score bridge, you want this app.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2018-06-27*

We use this for Chicago scoring and it works perfectly. Fairly intuitive once you get the hang of it. You can print and mail scoresheets and it has a scorekeeper for points over multiple rubbers. Well done!

### 5/5 — Huzzah

*2017-03-25*

Played for the first time in 6 months, and sometime in that period, the feature of recording the opening lead has been added.
This has made a really good app, Fantastic!

Having damaged the nerve in my dominant hand, I find keeping track of my hands on paper impossibly painful. This app is easy to use, and I regularly get other players asking me about it, when they see me use it.
I recommend it every time!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2016-11-05, version 1.1512*

Rubber scoring excellent indeed. Neat simple graphics, well done!

### 5/5 — It's easy and fabulous!!

*2016-10-17*

Thank you for this ... it takes the work out of keeping score. I messed with it for a few minutes and figured it out. Yahoo!!! Plus a fellow Greek developed it. Sweet.

### 3/5 — Rubber scoring excellent

*2016-07-02, version 1.1512*

Scoring for Rubber Bridge is excellent. The scoring for Chicago is faulty. It did work in accordance with the Rules but recently I saw that instead of adding a bonus for a part scroe, it simply adds the score to the line and if there is a further score, it adds this and scores a game (if enough combined points acheived). This suggests that Chicago now totals scores in accordance with Rubber bridge rules. This shows on two iPads I use and is definitely an error not previously in the programme.

### 1/5 — Bridge Scorer

*2016-03-24, version 1.1512*

A detailed App that could be very good but does not appear to score Contracts 'made' correctly.  No Trump Contracts earn 40 for first Trick, not 30 and Part Contracts should earn 50 Point Bonuses and Game Contracts 300 Points?

### 1/5 — Can't figure it out!

*2016-03-01*

I'm new to Bridge, however, I was hosting others who were experienced Bridge players.  They couldn't figure out how to operate the app, either.

### 5/5 — Great app, easy to use

*2015-01-04*

Love the app, very simple to use and to correct mistakes! One thing I'd like to see is more options on partial game scores. Our group uses Chicago but adds 50 for part games. Maybe add a config for using part scores on all scoring variations along with the points to be awarded in this situation.
