How
Games
Are
Scored
In a duplicate room, if you play with any computer players or change players during a hand, you will still be able to see duplicate results and how you ranked among the other players. However, you will not affect other players' scores. Only a hand played from start to finish by the same four human players will affect other players' duplicate scores. So the next time you play a game with a computer player, remember that the game is not recorded and no one but you will see that game's result.
