28: Twenty-Eight Is the Card-Point Total
Four jacks contribute twelve points, four nines eight, and the aces and tens four each. Together they account for twenty-eight. Kings, queens, eights and sevens add nothing.

Use that total as a check after counting both teams' captures. If the two piles sum to thirty, recount before recording the contract result. The likely issue is a value or counting mistake, not an extra reward created by taking more tricks.
