Question from a card player:
I am still confused about adding the score up. where do you add the threes on the score sheet especially if you have seven of them? 
Point count, is that everything that is left on the table and haven't been made into a canasta?

Hand Knee and Foot Canasta 
Basic books: count all required canastas (red 500pts, black 300pts, 7's 5000pts, 5's 3000pts and wilds 2500pts) plus points for going out .
Canastas: count all canastas not included in the Basic count including individual red 3's 100pts and any books of red threes 1000pts, and any extra books of 7's 5000pts, 5's 3000pts or wilds 2500pts.
Point count: is actual counting of all individual cards including all cards in the canastas. jokers 50pts, 2's and A's 20pts, K-8 10pts, 7-4 as 5pts.

Sub Total: Add up what you have so far

Deduction: When a team goes out then subtract any cards a player has left that have not been played yet including red 500pts and black 3's 100pts.

Total: is score of that round.
