Scoring Chart
|  |
In most types of normal euchre (excluding many types of "bid euchre"), you do not get points for how many tricks you score,
you get points for meeting the minimums or achieving certain goals.
Here is a simple chart for newbies to use as reference.
For some styles of euchre scoring changes.
Most notably, super-euchred scoring only applies if that option is turned on.
For playing without partnerships, the "with partner" points are used,
not the alone points.
| Goal Achieved |
|
With Partner |
Going Alone |
| maker march (wins all tricks) |
2 points |
4 points |
| maker saves (usually by winning 3 or more tricks) |
1 points |
1 points |
| defender euchred maker (maker did not save) |
2 points |
4 points |
| defender super-euchred maker (defender march) |

Helping Out
| |
There are several ways to help us get euchre going: email, chat, talk, or whatever else you prefer. We can always use assistance in helping new players learn to play Canasis Euchre. The more players we get, the better Euchre
can become and the more features we add. The biggest thing we need assistance in is getting more players over here.
If you are part of a Yahoo euchre club, feel free to represent your
club in Canasis Euchre by helping others in your club out and passing on their comments and suggestions to us. If you do this, please do let us know so
we can give you credit for it and when it comes time to setup our own
clubs we will know who to contact.
