Example 301 game with two teams playing with piggy-back partners

Team B is the winner as Player 1b is the first player to reduce the score to exactly zero.

The previous round, Player 1a scored more than the 20 points needed to reach exactly zero. This resulted in the player “busting” the score thus remaining at their previous score.
