Scoring becomes easy if you read it in 3 blocks: base, scoop, and royalties.
1) Base score (3 rows)
For each row against your opponent:
- win:
+1 - lose:
-1 - tie:
0
The sum of 3 rows is your baseRowScore.
2) Scoop
If you win all 3 rows:
- you gain
+SCOOP_BONUS - opponent gets
-SCOOP_BONUS
Current MVP default: SCOOP_BONUS = 3.
3) Royalties and final example
Royalties are row bonuses for made hands, applied only on non-foul hands.
Short example:
- base:
+1 - scoop:
0 - royalty diff:
+3 - final score:
+4
