Lock It Up: Spades Scorekeeper

Lock It Up is a scorekeeper for four-player partnership Spades. It handles the math so your table can keep playing. SET YOUR HOUSE RULES ONCE Every table plays differently. Turn nil and blind nil on or off, choose when blind nil unlocks, add a double-nil bonus, set the bag penalty and whether bags carry over, decide whether 10-for-200 cuts both ways, pick a mercy rule, and choose whether Boston wins outright. Play to 250, 300, or 500 points, or a fixed number of hands. FAST ROUND ENTRY Lock in team bids, flag anyone going nil or blind nil, then tap the books they took. The other team fills in automatically. You see exactly what the round is worth, including contract, bags, and nil results, before you commit it. A SCOREBOARD THAT KEEPS UP Running totals, the bag counter, who deals next, and a trend line showing how the lead changed hand by hand. Undo a round if the table calls it back.…
