                                 Scoring a Hand

          The score for a hand is the sum of a team's score for
     ÑmeldÑPmeld2.hlpÑ and their score for ÑplayÑplay.hlpÑ.  The team that
     won the bid MUST make their bid.  If they do not, than the amount of
     their bid is deducted from theier score at the start of the hand.

          Example: A team bid 35 their score at the start was 15.  The
               results of the hand are:

               Meld
                    book in spades                15
                    King and Quean of hearts      2
               Play                               15
               Total for hand                     32

          This was less than the 35 bid so their final score is -20 (15-
     35)                      ÑHelpÑPin8.hlpÑ
