Free pitch (setback) score keeper that knows the rules
Pitch is scored point by point, and the arguments start when two sides cross the line on the same hand. Here a hand takes a few taps: who won the bid and for how much, then who took High, Low, Jack and Game. The sheet sets back a bidder who falls short, adds everyone else's points, and decides who goes out under the rule your table plays.
- Pick the bidder and the bid, then tap who took High, Low, Jack and Game
- 4-, 5-, 6-, 7-, 9- and 10-point pitch, with the off-jack, jokers and the three or five of trump
- Partners, two players, or three to six cutthroat
- House rules: bidder goes out, must bid to score, shoot the moon, dealer stuck, Low to the holder
Pitch (Setback), three hands in
Enter each hand on your phone and the sheet adds itself up: running totals, who deals next, and the standings everyone can follow on the match link or a TV. Tap any earlier hand to fix it and every total after it updates.

How pitch (setback) scoring works
Pick who won the bid and the bid, then tap who took each point: High, Low, Jack and Game in the standard game. If the jack was not dealt, leave it on Not out; if Game is tied, nobody gets it. The bidder needs at least the bid, and everyone else keeps what they took.

- Players (Partners (2 v 2) · 2 players · 3 players, cutthroat · 4 players, cutthroat · 5 players, cutthroat)
- Points in a hand (4-point: High, Low, Jack, Game · 5-point: adds the off-jack · 6-point: adds the off-jack and a joker · 7-point: adds the off-jack and two jokers · 9-point: High, Low, Jack, Game and the five of trump (5))
- Play to
- Lowest bid
- Dealer is stuck when everyone passes
- Winning at the target (Only a made bid can win: the bidder must reach the target on a hand they made · Bidder goes out first, then the points count in order: High, Low, Jack, Game · Anyone can win: the highest total over the target wins (a tie plays on))
- Shoot the moon (smudge) (Not played · A bid of every point; make it and win the game · A bid of every point, worth a set value)
- Moon value
- The moon also needs every trick
- From the hole, a made moon only scores its points
- Non-bidders score the points they take
- Low goes to (Whoever takes it in a trick · Whoever was dealt it)
- The Game point (Game: most card points (tens 10, aces 4, kings 3, queens 2, jacks 1) · The ten of trump, to whoever takes it)
- First dealer (seat number)
Pitch (Setback) scoring app FAQ
Is there a free pitch score keeper app?
Yes. Score All keeps pitch and setback score for free on any phone: tap who took each point and the sheet handles sets, the next dealer and who wins.
Is setback the same game as pitch?
Yes. Pitch, setback, high-low-jack and auction pitch are one family of games, scored on High, Low, Jack and Game. The house rules differ from table to table, which is why the app lets you pick them.
Can it score 10-point pitch?
Yes. Choose 10-point when you start: High, Low, Jack, the off-jack, both jokers, Game and the three of trump worth 3. 9-point pitch, with the five of trump worth 5, is there too.
