At the end of 8 rounds, points are tallied up and a winner is determined.
The player with the highest score is the winner, and is rewarded with the other players' antes.
30,000 is the benchmark by which players calculate their wins or losses. Players below 30,000 end up with negative scores, those above 30,000 end up positive. 1. Determine Winner Players count their chips. The player with the highest score is determined the winner. 2. Calculate Simplified Scores for Non-winning players. Players below 30,000 round up to the nearest 1,000. Translate each 1,000 below 30,000 into -1. Example: 6,000 below 30,000 = Final Score of -6. If they are above 30,000, round down to the nearest 1,000. Example: Round down to 32,000. Final score = +2. 3. Calculate the Winner's Simplified Score Determine the Winner's simplified score by adding up the 2nd, 3rd and 4th place players' scores, and changing the sign. Example: with simplified scores of -17, -11, and +2. The sum of these is -26. The winner's score is +26. (In other words, the winner gains the same amount that the non-winners lose). If no player has a score higher than 30,000 at the end of 8 rounds, no winner can be determined. As a result, play continues for an additional 4 rounds. This is called the West round. You guessed it! If no winner has been determined by the end of the West round, play continues for 4 rounds of North. |
