How Do You Participate?

Offline and Online Play
If you play Offline:
One player on a team plays first and sends their .round file to their partner and myself.  The other player then plays with this .round file and upon completion must send to me both his .round file and a saved .game file showing the scores for both players.
If you play Online:
One team player must send me a screen copy of the scorecard - front and back.  Save either as .BMP or .JPG, and please, NO EDITING as I will do the scorekeeping.
