How many Card Points did the calling side capture?
Answer
48. Set aside the 10
, the 1
and the 10
, which are empty, and count the other 21 cards: a base count of 21, and the pips add 27, so the Call is made. 51 counts the three empty cards, and 27 or 21 stops after one of the two steps.

Add the pips: that is your pip count. Together the two counts are your Card Points.
