Seven players. The team ends the hand with 43 Card Points, so the Dapper's contract has failed. But the Dapper's declared Pagat Ultimo succeeded anyway: the Pagat won the last trick. The Dapper's own pile (tricks and discards together): I, K

Answer
The team has 43 Card Points, so the team wins the hand. The tier is read from the loser’s Card Points, so count the Dapper’s pile: nineteen cards, divided by two and rounded down, gives a base count of 9, and the pips add 26. Together that is 35 Card Points, which fall in the 33–39 tier. Each opponent scores 1 Victory Point from the plain Dapp column. The Dapper still scores 6 Victory Points for the successful Pagat Ultimo, whether the contract is won or lost.
