If the contract is 1 club and seven is the total amount of tricks won, then the score is 20 plus part score bonus of 50=70.

If they make 2 overtricks then the score is 60+50=110

If the contract is defeated then the following points are given to the opposing side.

For every trick short of the contract

Non vulnerable = 50

Vulnerable = 100

Should the contract be doubled then:-

Non Vulnerable

1 off 100

2 off 300

3 off 500

4 off 800

Vulnerable

1 off 200

2 off 500

3 off 800

Should a doubled contract make then the score achieved by normal counting is doubled PLUS either 50 or 100 (according to vulnerability) for the insult. There is also an additional penalty if they are doubled into game.

For example..

A non vulnerable contract of 2ª is doubled

Should the contract make then the score is 2 x 30 =60 is doubled

= 120 plus 50 for the insult PLUS game score of 300 as 2ª doubled becomes 4ª and that is total needed for game
