Definizione e Significato di "International Match Point"

What is "International Match Point"?

International Match Point (IMP) is a scoring system commonly used in competitive card games like bridge, particularly in team events. In this system, the results of each hand are compared between two teams. The difference in the number of tricks won by each team is converted into IMPs, with the team that wins more tricks scoring points. The larger the difference in tricks won, the greater the number of IMPs awarded. The goal is to accumulate as many IMPs as possible over multiple hands to win the overall match. IMPs are used to create a more standardized scoring system, making it easier to compare results across different games and competitions.
