(Recap, Continued from page 166)

Second Session
Let's see how our pairs finished. the recap sheet for the second session lists a pair's combined matchpoint score and overall and/or session rankings and awards.
Note that "carryover" listed on the evening recap is simply each pair's afternoon score.

Pair 3 earned a section third in the second session to finish sixth overall in Strata A. Their masterpoint reward? Look at the last column marked "Final Awards" - they won 6.00 gold points.

Now let's check pair 6. They earned a section top in A and B in

the second session. Their overall ranking: 9/10 in A and second in B. Second overall in B pays 5.33 gold points.

The overall award is higher than their two section awards, and they receive the greater award (not both.)

Thumbs up!
We won the novice game!
