IMP Point

IMPs are calculated by comparing the score difference on each board between two partnerships. If the difference is 20 points or more, the partnership earns the corresponding number of IMPs. All IMPs are totaled to get a match score. Victory Points are then derived from the total IMPs based on a 20-point scale, with the points split between the two teams depending on the IMP difference. A larger IMP difference results in more lopsided Victory Point allocation.

IMP Calculation

IMPs: the difference between the results the two (2) partnerships achieved on a board is input to a “Diff” column in a
table and the International MatchPoints (IMPs) are read from the associated “IMPs” column
 All boards played are converted to IMPs International Matchpoint (IMP) Scale
o You only win IMPs if you have a
Diff IMPs Diff IMPs Diff IMPs
positive difference of 20 points or more
o If you lose by 20 or more points, you 20 - 40 1 370 - 420 9 1500 - 1740 17
lose the appropriate number of IMPs 50 - 80 2 430 - 490 10 1750 - 1990 18
90 - 120 3 500 - 590 11 2000 - 2240 19
o A dead tie or a difference of only 10 is 130 - 160 4 600 - 740 12 2250 - 2490 20
a “push” and neither team earns any 170 - 210 5 750 - 890 13 2500 - 2990 21
IMPs on that board 220 - 260 6 900 -1090 14 3000 - 3490 22
 All IMPs are totaled to arrive at a single IMP 270 - 310 7 1100 -1290 15 3500 - 3990 23
score for the match 320 - 360 8 1300 -1490 16 4000 & up 24

Victory Point Calculation


Victory Points: derived from IMPs based on a 20-point scale. (A 30-point scale is available, but typically not used.)
 Victory Points (VPs) are calculated on the total IMP score for the match 20-Pt. Victory Point (VP) Scale
 The 2 teams split the available Victory Points (no negative VPs)
IMPs VPs IMPs VPs
o A dead tie in IMPs gives each team 10 VPs (20-point scale)
o A team that wins by 1 or 2 IMPs gets 11 VPs; 0 10-10 14-16 16-4
the losing team gets 9 1-2 11-9 17-19 17-3
3-4 12-8 20-23 18-2
o A win by 5-7 IMPs results in a 13 / 7 split 5-7 13-7 24-27 19-1
o A win by 28 IMPs or more, called a “blitz,” has all 20 VPs going 8-10 14-6 28+ 20-0
to the victors 11-13 15-5
 Victory Points are cumulative for all the matches
