Court Piece Scoring Explained
Court Piece is scored by hands, not points per trick — but how much a win is worth depends on how decisively you took it. Here is what a Court, a Goon Court and a Bavan actually mean at the table.

Win the first seven tricks of a hand in a row and you take a Court, also called a Kot. It settles the hand in your favour there and then — and counts for more than scraping a bare majority.
Bavan — the 52-court
Sweep all thirteen tricks and it is a Bavan — literally fifty-two. Every card, every trick. It is the rarest and biggest result in the game, scored far above an ordinary win.
Court Piece scoring terms
What is a Court (Kot) in Court Piece?
A Court, or Kot, is winning the first seven tricks of a hand in a row. It ends the hand immediately and is the standard strong win — worth one in the common subcontinental scoring.
What is a Goon Court?
A Goon Court is a more dominant Court — a decisive early sweep — worth roughly three times a normal Court in the scoring most tables use.
What is a Bavan or 52-court?
A Bavan (fifty-two) is winning all thirteen tricks of a hand. It is the maximum result and the rarest, scored far above a Court — the fifty-two the name refers to.
How is Court Piece scored overall?
You win by taking hands. A plain hand win counts once; a Court (Kot) more, a Goon Court more again, and a Bavan (all thirteen tricks) the most. A match is first to an agreed number, set before you start.
