The rules this keeper follows
Scoring comes from the US Playing Card Company’s page, Euchre on Bicycle Cards. The partnership that names trump is the makers. If they win 3 or 4 tricks they score 1 point, and if they win all 5 they score 2. A player who says “alone” when trump is made plays without their partner and scores 4 for taking all 5 tricks or 1 for 3 or 4. If the makers win fewer than 3 tricks, they are euchred and the opponents score 2. The first side to reach the agreed 5, 7, or 10 points wins.
There are no optional scoring rules here because the source documents none. The one setting is the game length.
Built for the middle of the table
The scores are large enough to read across a table, and each team’s points are drawn as a row of dots that fill toward the target. The hand log underneath shows who made trump, how many tricks they took, and who scored, so a disputed hand is easy to trace back.

Frequently asked questions
How many points are scored in Euchre?
Makers who take 3 or 4 tricks score 1 point, and all 5 tricks scores 2. A lone hand scores 1 for 3 or 4 tricks and 4 for all 5. If the makers take fewer than 3 tricks they are euchred and the other team scores 2.
How many points do you play to?
Bicycle’s rules say the game goes to 5, 7, or 10 points as agreed beforehand. This keeper defaults to 10 and also offers 5 and 7.
What if the defenders go alone?
The source rules do not give a separate score for defenders playing alone, so this keeper does not offer one. A euchre always scores 2 for the defending team.
Can I score a game with more than two teams?
No. Euchre is played by two partnerships, so the keeper tracks two teams.
Will the score survive a refresh?
Yes. The score, hand log, team names, and game length are saved in this browser.
Can other people follow the score live?
Yes, when a Share live button shows above the tool. It gives you a viewer link and a QR code that follow the game and update every few seconds, and a separate scorekeeper link so a helper can enter scores. Viewers cannot change anything. The scores and names on screen are stored on our server until the link expires 14 days after the last change, or until you press Stop sharing. If you don’t see the button, live sharing isn’t switched on and everything else works as before in your browser.
