The Declarer's side bid Three and won the hand, 55 Card Points of the 94. But partway through the hand, a Defender's Skus caught the Declarer's XXI in the same trick: a silent, unannounced XXI-catch.
Who scores what?

Answer
The Declarer’s side wins the contract: each of its players adds 1 Victory Point, the value of Three. But the Skus that did the catching belongs to the Defenders, so the XXI-catch bonus is theirs regardless of who won the contract: each Defender adds 21 Victory Points. The Declarer’s side adds their 1 Victory Point, and the player who lost the XXI is traditionally called the Mayor, the Polgármester.
