What is a "penalty"?

A penalty is a punishment or disadvantage given to a player or team for breaking the rules in a sport. In many sports, such as soccer, hockey, or rugby, a penalty may result in the offending player being temporarily removed from the game, or the opposing team being given an opportunity to score. Penalties can also involve the loss of points, free kicks, or other forms of disadvantage to the team at fault. The purpose of a penalty is to maintain fairness and discourage players from violating the rules.

What is a "penalty"?

Penalty refers to the points or score given to the defending team when they successfully prevent the declarer from meeting the requirements of their bid. In games like bridge, if the declarer fails to win the number of tricks they committed to during the bidding phase, the defending team is awarded penalty points. This happens when the declarer's hand is weaker than expected or when the opponents strategically win enough tricks to stop the declarer from fulfilling the contract. Penalty points help the defending team earn points for their efforts in blocking the declarer's plan.
