contracts are judged made without actual card play. Another modern variant consists of eight hands, four hands of ordinary skruuvi and four hands of kotkas. Points are awarded only for made contracts, avoided tricks in forced misääri, and penalties for undertricks and penalties for taken aces in misääri. In this variant, all the hands are played out, but the minimum allowed final contract is five odd tricks.
