In a round-robin (or Swiss teams event with duplicated boards), an 
alternative form of scoring is possible - a cross between match-points 
and point-a-board...

[A] Calculate the match-point scores in the usual way.
[B] For each team, add the North-South and East-West match points.

This scoring method is a radical departure from normal teams/rubber 
bridge scoring but it does make each board count roughly the same and 
the fight for extra overtricks/undertricks again becomes relevant.

An interesting and exciting spin-off is that, with an extra round or two 
at the beginning,  you can combine teams with pairs and individual 
competitions, all scored on a similar basis.
