Cite: on "Rubber bridge is reported and paid in 'amount per hundred', and <50 points is 'a washout'

I can't figure out how to actually put the citation in, but the preeminent Rubber Club in England, TGR's, has this on their front page: "In games over £5 per 100,...", and the "Example Chicago" linked there ends with 'so the net result is 30 to North-South. This is described as a “washout”, since we score per 100 points at TGRs.'

Now, the default money game has changed from rubber to 4-deal Chicago (because it plays faster, and therefore there is more opportunity for money to change hands), but that does and did not change the way game stakes are stated: "5 cents a point" in North America is "5 pounds a hundred" (or "the 5 pound game") in the UK. 189.203.235.50 (talk) 17:38, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this article needs to go into any detail on rubber bridge scoring. Indeed even what there is might be unnecessary. Perhaps instead simply provide a link to the bridge scoring article, which includes a section on rubber bridge? But I haven't checked on whether the citations in that article would need improving.
