In a ball game points are accumulated by different combinations of four winning shots called a chop, a creamer, a glink and a yip. Playing the game for the first time, the only knowledge I have about the scoring system is that a chop is worth one point more than a creamer, and a creamer is worth twice as many points as a glink. I lose narrowly by 47 points to 50, scoring 3 chops, 4 yips, 3 creamers and 4 glinks. My victorious opponent scored 5 chops, 3 yips, 3 creamers and 2 glinks.
