New 'Manual Scoring' table option for Cribbage

Tomorrow morning (Apr 6, 2006 approximately 4 AM EDT), we are introducing a new 'Manual Scoring' table option for Cribbage.
The rules and description for Manual Scoring option is on site in the Rules section.
Here are some extracts:
With 'Manual Scoring' table option selected, both players are forced to count their hands -- both during play and during show-of-cards
* If you undercount your points -- it's your loss -- you will only get the points corresponding to your manual count.
The board will show your 'Undercounted points' alongside with computer-scored points.
* If you overcount your points -- the server will catch the error and the extra points will be added to your opponent's score.
The board will show your 'Overcounted points' alongside with computer-scored points.
In the example below, a player just put an Ace of Hearts on the table earning 2 points (not shown). Instructions in red call for this player to select his points from the drop-down box and press the 'score' button.
Note:
(1) When entering your score, you don't have to add 1 pt for last card in the drop-down box -- it will be auto-added for you.
For example, if you just scored one 31 pts combination, just put 2pts (for 31). If you scored 31 by adding a pair -- make it 4 pts in the drop-down box (2 pts for the pair and 2 pts for 31). If in the latter case you forget about the pair and just score 2 pts for 31, then you'll undercount 2 points, so your total score will be 2 pts lower.
(2) Initial 'for his heels' points will be auto-added
(3) During the show-of-cards, the dealer has 2 separate drop-down boxes to put the score in - for the crib and for the hand

I suggest that if you undercount, the opponent should get points U undercounted along with your loss of points you undercounted----why not an option for stink hole by opponents---If both players opt to play that method, U must peg out? of stink hole rmcusnret

We should be able to get undercut opponent points. Maybe you can come up with and "agree button". Where both players have to agree on opponents points. If opposing player does not agree, that player rescores opponent hand and get the undercut points

The taking of undercounted points by an opponent is called "Muggins" and is NOT generally used. I strongly feel that muggins should NOT be used here.

Per ACC (American Cribbage Congress) rules:
(1) undercounted points do not get added to your opponent's points -- the player who made a mistake already suffered enough
(2) Any overcounted points will get added to your opponent -- a player only gets the points corresponding to the maximum of the correct count
PLEASE READ, 121 MANAUL SCORE

With all respect, there are now many other countries playing here, so why not use the British Cribbage Rules or Canadian or Russian etc etc

I would assume, because the company is based in America and to have to use 56 different countries rules would confuse players and tax Game Colony's resourses
Thank You

Wow, I love it! I was getting a little lazy having the computer count for me  , lol. It keeps you on your toes, so to speak. Also, to any country, including the USA; that we happen to be playing on Game Colonies site (by choice, I might add). Therefore with so many different countries/rules, they have actually gone out of their way to continue to bring us different types of cribbage games. Seems in time they might even get to them all . Game Colony you rock! Thank you again for the many many different games and way to play them.
Oh yeah, by the way, Keep on Cribbin, My Fellow Cribbers.
Peace

...... the wrong way. Whilst I appreciate all that GC has done, it has opened itself to the world and other rules should be adhered to. 5 card is now an accepted game. GC is a very good platform, lets all talk and not bicker. As other have said GC rocks

The ACC is a standard by which players from many countries use, is it not just for Americans.
Suggest to Game Colony, program in the manual counting so keyboard can be the input, not just point and click, less mistakes can be made.

Game Colony supports 5 card crib; I believe the Game Colony implementation follows the rules as provided to my by the Salisbury League (GB.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
