Primary scores are equal to the number of wins: a player get one point per won game. When players are tied on primary scores, the tie is broken by secondary scores. There are four types of secondary scores: A1, A2, B1, and B2. A1 is the sum of defeated opponents' primary scores. A2 is the sum of other opponents' primary scores. B1 is the sum of defeated opponents' secondary scores. B2 is the sum of the other opponents' secondary scores. Ties on primary scores are broken by comparing A1, ties on A1 are broken by comparing A2, and so on.

Primary scores: In an elimination or round-robin tournament, standings are determined by primary and secondary scores. Primary scores are equal to the number of wins: a player gets one primary point for each won game. When players are tied on primary scores, the tie breaker is determined by the secondary scores.

主分﹕循環賽或選拔賽應以得分之多寡排定優勝名次。每勝一局得「主分」一分，主分相同再計輔分。

輔分﹕輔分乃輔佐主分之不足，得以精密方法排出優勝者名次，為近代國際採用之方法。本規則之輔分構成要素有四﹕ （一）S為勝局、（二）B為敗局、（三）JH為所有對手「主分之和」、（四）FH為所有對手「輔分之和」。則可產生四種輔分 ﹕（A）SJH（B）BJH、（C）SFH、（D）BFH。依次計算應可排出優勝名次。
