Norm,

Assuming one is rounding the discards using half deck resolution, can it lower SCORE to be off by one bracket when using Hi-Lo?

Here is an example of what I mean:

Cards in Discard Rack:
91-116 2 decks (104 cards)
117-142 2.5 decks (130 cards)

Let us say there are 118 cards lying in the discard rack. I then incorrectly estimate that 2 decks have been played when it is really 2.5 decks according to the chart.
So, my estimate is in the wrong bracket but only 118-104 = 14 cards off. This sort of thing occurs quite frequently when I practice at home. Is this anything to be worried about?

That was an example of a slightly incorrect estimate. What if 141 cards were in the discard and I estimated it was 2 decks? According to the above chart I am still only one bracket off but now the estimate is 141-104 = 37 cards off, which is more then 1/2 a deck!! Now would the error be significant enough to warrant concern?

Thanks Norm!
