Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
In 6 card golf, the rules clearly state:
"A pair of equal cards in the same column scores zero points for the column (even if the equal cards are twos). "
The rule is not followed on the BGA game. I had 3 pairs on the 3 columns and should have scored 0. Instead BGA scored 28

Report history
Check the table option and the score table next to the card grids.
The rules for scoring state (this is from the link provided by BGA, www.pagat.com/draw/golf.html#six)
At the end of the play, each player's layout of six cards is turned face-up and scored as follows.
Each ace counts 1 point.
Each two counts minus two points.
Each numeral card from 3 to 10 scores face value.
Each Jack or Queen scores 10 points.
Each King scores zero points.
A pair of equal cards in the same column scores zero points for the column (even if the equal cards are twos).
The player who has the lowest cumulative score after nine deals wins.
Therefore, clearly one expects the default options on BGA to match the standard rules, with any non default options specifically selected by the player creating the table to be non standard variants.
I would therefore suggest making the "column scoring" the default option as this is the standard rule. Without this column scoring, the game is pretty dull.
