After all the cards (20 tricks) have been played, each side counts the total number of aces, tens, and kings in the tricks they have taken. One point is earned for each of these cards. In addition, the side that takes the last trick earns 2 points. Points for melds are added to the trick points to determine each side's score.
If the side that won the bid scores at least as many points as it bid, both sides add their scores to their running point totals. If the bidding side fails to make its bid, they score nothing, and the amount of their bid is subtracted from their running score. The opponents keep their score for the hand and add it to their running total. In creating a Pinochle table at Yahoo!, a player may choose whether there is an extra score for duplicate sequences and decide whether or not at least 20 points are needed to score (in which case scores less than 20 on a hand are adjusted to 0).
