Section 631a.6 - Value of cards; Point Count of hand(a) The value of the cards in each deck shall be as follows: (1) Any card from 2 to 9 shall have its face value.(2) Any 10, jack, queen or king shall have a value of zero.(3) Any ace shall have a value of one.(b) The Point Count of a hand shall be a single digit number from 0 to 9 and determined by totaling the value of the cards in the hand. If the total value of the cards in a hand is a two-digit number, the left digit of the number shall be discarded and the right digit shall constitute the Point Count of the hand. Examples of this rule are as follows:(1) A hand composed of an ace, 2 and 4 has a Point Count of 7.(2) A hand composed of an ace, 2 and 9 has a total value of 12 but a Point Count of only 2 since the left digit in the number 12 is discarded.
