Answer
The team has 43 Card Points, more than half, 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, is 9; the pips add 26: 35 Card Points, the 33–39 band. Each opponent scores 1 Victory Point from the plain Dapp column. The Dapper still scores 6 Victory Points for the successful Pagat Ultimo, contract lost or not.
