;Book: The basic six [[#T|tricks]] that must be taken by the [[#D|declaring]] side. Since there is a total of 13 tricks, these six tricks below the half are always assumed and are never taken into account in [[#S|scoring]]. Thus, a [[#C|contract]] on [[#L|level]] 1 denotes taking at least (6+1) tricks.

;Bonus: In [[#S|scoring]], the additional points awarded for making a [[#C|contract]] of certain [[#L|level]] and/or [[#D|double]]d or [[#R|redouble]]d. E.g.The bonus for making a doubled [[#P|partial contract]] is 50 points, while bonus for bidding and making a [[#G|game]] is 300 or 500 points, depending on [[#V|vulnerability]]. Doubled non-vulnerable [[#O|overtricks]] are worth 100 points each and vulnerable overtricks are worth 200 points each. In rubber games the bonus is sometimes referred to as the 'insult'.
