 In an amazing comeback, the team of Hornsby, Christian, Bozman, and Miskios over came three rounds of losses totalling over 25 IMPS to win the last round by 30.  Thus based on total IMPS, they won the whole match.  But I had put the game information as Victory Points.  The results of that scoring is:

DIR> B Stevenson |RATING>Club Masterpoint (Open) |GAME>VICTORY POINT
----------,---------- ,-------------------------,--------- ---------------------
ROUNDS> 4 |BDS/RD> 7 |MP LIMITS>None |CLUB>Barb's Bridge Battilion
-  No Name | Points | Name |                                                             Points |                            Wins    | Score |
---------------------------------- -------- ------------------------------ -------- --------- -------
 Wyatt Mapp 0.21 | Robert Cobb 0.21 | |Gunnar Sarsten 0.21 | Marie Sarsten   0.21              | 3 |     67.00
 Liz Hornsby 0.07 | Patty Christian 0.07  Adalheidur Moskios 0.07 | Carole Bozman 0.07    | 1 |     53.00
 TOTALS 4.00 120.00
So this is the score and Masterpoint totals that will be reported.  Team One gets .21 masterpoints each.  Team Two gets 0.07 masterpoints each.

It was an impressive comeback anyway.  This match is an example why there is so much discussion regarding the type of scoring chosen for swiss teams.  Total win/loss would have had Team One winning.  Total IMPS would have had Team Two winning.
