Pagat separates Classic and Modern American Canasta into different accounts. Their sections should not be combined into one supposed universal version.
Keep a simple comparison note
Write down where your group’s rules came from and the exact mode an app uses. If two pages disagree, first check that they describe the same format. Do not resolve a disagreement by taking whichever number is easier to remember.
How this site helps
Our short notes identify their source, and our manual scorekeeper accepts agreed results. It does not select a ruleset or decide whether a hand followed it.
