Board-A-Match
Board-A-Match is a form of scoring used in team
games.
Each team has a N-S and E-W pair facing their
counterparts from the other team.
Instead of the more common "IMP"
comparison (where, for example +620 at one table is compared with,
say with down 1, -100 at the other table for a 720-point swing
converted to 12 IMPs), the BAM score is either a "WIN"
or a "LOSE". If the N-S pair is +620 and the
E-W pair at the other table is +100, the result is "1"
-- a full win. If you are -800 and -2,000 it is simply a
loss or "0." If both tables achieve the same
score, say +620 at each table, it is a tie and 0.5 for each team.
You can win a board in BAM by the smallest of
margins. If your N-S pair is +130 in a diamond partial, and
your counterparts play in 2NT, making 120, you get a full 1.0
(WIN) on the board!.
