IMP Scoring
IMP scoring is an alternative to the regular Match Point scoring system.

Using Cross-IMP (X-IMP) scoring each result is scored in IMPs against all the other results in the field and then an average is taken. The relationship between contract scores and IMPs is shown on all scorecards.

The playing strategy is similar to that of Teams bridge in that the emphasis is on bidding and making games while overtricks are of limited importance.


The formal club results will continue to be submitted in the Match Point format except for three designated evenings shown on the 2013 calendar when X-IMPS will be used. These three evenings will not count towards the Club Championship or the Handicap/Ludlow competitions because the software which calculates those competition results requires all data to be in the same format.

For an extended discussion regarding X-IMP scoring, please click on the Main Menu tab above.

In their final match of the season, Colchester beat Felixstowe by 66-14 VPs which was just enough to overhaul Ipswich & Kesgrave and win the Summer League for only the second time in the history of our club. The winning margin over I&K was just 2VPs, having come second to them by the same margin last year.
