In duplicate bridge only, game and partial-game bonuses are awarded at the conclusion of each deal as follows: any partial contract, i.e. one scoring less than 100 contract points, scores a bonus of 50 points, and; any game contract, i.e. one scoring 100 or more points, scores a game bonus of 300 if not vulnerable and 500 if vulnerable.
Below is a facsimile of a traveling scoreslip for Board 1 in a five-table matchpoint tournament using a Mitchell movement. All entries are made by competitors except the last two columns which are calculated and completed by tournament staff at the end of the session.
In the example movement above, Tables 1, 2, 7, and 8 would use one set of boards, with boards entering at Table 2 and exiting at Table 7, and Tables 3, 4, 5, and 6 would use the other, with boards entering at Table 6 and exiting at Table 3. The remaining boards of each set usually are placed on stands next to the table where they will enter.
