Why base and count? In Modern American canasta each hand scores in two parts, the canasta bonuses and threes, then the card count, and the running total decides your next opening meld. The sheet gives each its own line so nobody has to do the math on a napkin.

Print a stack for your club, slip a set into a card night hostess bag, or laminate the guide pages for the table that never gets put away.
