Article: You can find a score card online, such as this one: https://500rules.com/score-card/. The score card tells you how many points are awarded for each different suit and their coinciding bid number. If you won the bid and won the number of tricks you bid, then you would use the score card to add that specific number to your score. If you won the bid but didn’t win the right number of tricks, you would subtract the score card’s number from your total score.  For example, if your bid was 6 Spades and you won all 6 tricks with Spades, you would add 40 points to your score, according to the score card. If you bid 8 Diamonds and didn’t win all those tricks, you would need to subtract 280 points from your score according to the score card. Keep a piece of paper and pencil next to you to keep track of the scoring, if necessary. Continue playing hands and adding up the scores until a team earns 500 points, or a team has negative 500 points or less (meaning they’ve lost). The first team to earn 500 points wins! For each new hand, rotate the dealer to the left.
