This is meant to show comparisons between various evaluators, and specifically the evaluators from my articles, Offensive and Defensive Evaluations and Binky Evaluations. The expected values are roughly how many tricks you expect to take, on average, just looking at your own hand. The Binky Points are such that, when added to partner's Binky Points, you get a close approximation of the number of tricks you expect to take.

binky-hcp evaluators are the scaled values given in my HCP Versus Binky article.

The Fifths evaluator is defined as Ace=4, K=2.8, Q=1.8, J=1, T=0.4. It is a good evaluator for determining whether to bid 3NT.

BUM-RAP is Alex Martelli's name for Ace=4.5, K=3, Q=1.5, J=0.75, T=0.25.

The implementation of the Kaplan-Reuben CCCC evaluator is somewhat suspect.
