Northside won on five boards and drew on one.
Jonathan, Ryan, Ronald, and Mindren followed Matthew with wins on their boards. George and Alejandro lost. Isha's game was going against her, but she managed to find a draw.
Have you been wondering how the points work?
How the points work: Teams score more for top boards,
12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5
All the points together total 68, so a perfect score is 68-0. Half of 68 is 34, so it takes 34.5 points minimum to win the match. Even though first board scores more than twice as many points as eighth board, a team cannot win with the top three alone: 12+11+10=33. Alternatively, you could say that players winning on any five boards will win the match.
Can you build up an insurmountable lead, or seize momentum by winning games early?
No. Once you have scored 34.5 points or more, your team will win the match. Nonetheless, going up 33-0 early does not mean your team is winning. Although odds are in your favor that someone on the team will score, and then you will win, at least one player must win or draw his or her game for this actually to happen.
