Scoring
Doubling a Hand
The current card sometimes allows a completed hand's point value to be doubled under specific conditions — the exact conditions change from card to card, so check the current year's rules.
Because doubling rules are revised annually by the NMJL, it's worth reviewing the front of that year's card, or its rules insert, rather than relying on a previous year's conventions.
Example
A hand that would otherwise be worth a set number of points might score double if it qualifies under that year's specific doubling rule.
