Run a 500 (Five Hundred) tournament from a phone
500 tournaments are partnership games to 500, table by table. Score All runs the bracket, assigns each match to a free table and scores every game from the Avondale table, so a contract is worth the same at every table and nobody argues about a slam.
- Pick the contract and the tricks; the Avondale values are filled in for you
- Misère and open misère, slams, 10 a trick for the defenders, out at 500 and -500
- Partners, two players, three-handed, or five-handed with a called partner
- Australian or American rules, and the "stay at 490" house rule

500 tournament FAQ
How do I run a 500 card game tournament?
Create the event, choose a format, add the partnerships and start. Each game is scored on a phone at the table and the winner advances automatically.
How do I keep a 500 tournament on schedule?
A game to 500 can run long when contracts keep getting set. For a big field or a short evening, set a lower target such as 300 for the event and every match uses it.
Can I print a 500 bracket?
Yes, free and without an account, from the printable bracket generator. Live brackets with table assignments are part of the Pro plan.
