Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if any.
In this hand, one partner bid a nil. The other partner bid 6 books. The team made 8 books. Instead of crediting the team for the 6 books and losing the nil, they lost the nil, didn't make the bid, and also got 5 sand bags. So every book the partner who bid the nil received was counted towards the team's sand bags, but did not count towards the team's books. That is incorrect, and incredibly punitive. I hope that this was just an oversight.

Report history
"The usual rule is that when a nil fails, the tricks won by the nil bidder do not count towards making the partner's bid, but do count as bags for the team."
I get that it's the usual rule, but it does seem to be pretty punitive
Further, if they DID, and if the non-zero partner also got MORE than they bid, then logically the zero player's tricks should ALSO count as bags within their partner's score. You can't have your cake AND eat it !
The tricks of the Partner do not count for the nil-bid and the tricks of the nil-player do not count for his partner.
Example:
Player 1 -> Bid 0 / Got 2 Tricks --> -100 for Nil-bid / 2 Bags (took more tricks than he/she bid)
Player 2 -> Bid 4 Got 5 Tricks --> 40 for Bid / 1 Bag (took more than bid)
Team --> - 60 Points / 3 Bags
This seems logical to me
I don't have any official ruling reference, but just wanted to address that the reasoning (initially reported as a bug) is not uncommon.
