International Match Points

International match points within the card game of contract bridge is a measurement for conversion of the absolute contract bridge scores. The total point difference between two scores is compared to a scale ranging from 1 to 24.[1][2] IMP score is used in competition bridge, including duplicate bridge (including at some online bridge websites),[3] but rarely within any kind of companion bridge, and never if playing rubber bridge.[4]
