Understanding DICE & BANK Scores

What CPL scoring is

The app scores your play the way the Craps Player League does, separately from whether you won money. There are two halves: DICE scores the rolls you throw, and BANK scores how your bankroll moved. TOTAL is DICE + BANK.

CPL scoring is a Premium feature — see the Premium card on your Profile. Your bankroll entries are always saved, so your scores appear as soon as Premium is active.

DICE: scoring a hand

A hand starts when a shooter gets the dice and ends when they pass. Every roll adds:

  • Base points — rarer totals are worth more: 2 or 12 = 36, 3 or 11 = 18, 4 or 10 = 12, 5 or 9 = 9, 6 or 8 = 7, and 7 = 6.
  • Hardway bonus — +5 when a 4, 6, 8 or 10 is rolled as doubles.
  • Repeat bonus — rolling the same total again in the same hand adds +5 the 2nd time, +10 the 3rd, +15 the 4th, and so on. Any 7 resets the repeat counts.
  • No Roll — −1 point each.

Worked example

A hand goes 6, hard 6, 8, 6, then a seven-out:

RollBaseBonusRunning
6+7—7
6 (hard, 3-3)+7+5 hard, +5 repeat24
8+7—31
6+7+10 repeat48
7 (seven-out)+6—54

That hand scores 54. It's the number you'd see on the live DICE tile at the seven-out.

Your session DICE

Your session's CPL DICE is your single best Me hand — hands are never added together. If your Me hands scored 92, 101 and 87, your DICE is 101.

DICE never shows below 80. In the example above, if 54 were your only hand, your session DICE would read 80. Only hands from the shooter tagged Me count; everyone else's hand scores are shown for interest.

BANK score

BANK uses your bankroll, not the dice. It needs your session Starting bankroll plus your bankroll at the end of each shooter's hand (entered in the seven-out dialog or on the session's page). It counts the first 10 shooters you entered an ending bankroll for. Shooters left blank are skipped, so counting can start at any shooter, not just shooter #1.

  • Each shooter scores your % gain or loss during their hand plus a position bonus: 10 for the 1st counted shooter, 20 for the 2nd, up to 100 for the 10th. The result is rounded up, away from zero (38.2 → 39, −15.4 → −16).
  • A finishing bonus based on your overall result versus your starting bankroll: 0 if you're down, 10 if you're exactly even, and your overall gain % × 10 if you're up (+63% = 630).
  • Finally, your net dollars won or lost is added.

Example: start $1,000 and end the 10th counted shooter at $1,630. The ten shooter scores add up to 624, the finishing bonus is 630 (+63%), and the net is +$630, so BANK = 1,884.

CAE uses the same BANK formula as the CPL website's Unofficial Scoring page, so the same bankrolls give the same score. These are unofficial CPL scores. Until all 10 shooters are entered, BANK is an in-progress estimate measured to your latest entry.

Shooters you leave blank are skipped, so enter an ending bankroll for each shooter you want counted (or fill them in later from the session's page). The session page shows "10/10 shooters" once BANK is complete.

Where the scores show

  • Tracking screen — the live DICE tile for the current hand, and DICE on every shooter in the Session History list.
  • Session page — the 🎲 Unofficial CPL Score card with DICE, BANK (with how many of 10 shooters counted) and TOTAL. See Reviewing, Editing & Sharing Sessions.
