Points Rummy: rules and a worked example

How a deal is decided

In the referenced Points format, a valid declaration ends the deal. The winner records zero penalty points; other hands are scored under the table’s grouping rules.

A simple hand-score example

Suppose the required sequences are already present and these three cards remain unmatched:

This is an illustrative remainder, not a complete hand. Missing required sequences can change which cards count.

Check before applying the example

• What counts as a valid declaration?
• Which cards are excluded from the losing hand score?
• What are the table’s drop and maximum-score rules?

Read the actual table rules. This guide does not confirm that a listed brand offers this format.
