3-2-5: Every Surplus Has a Matching Shortfall
The quotas total ten, exactly the number of tricks. If the five-trick player takes six, the three-trick player takes three and the dealer takes one, the surplus and deficit are both one.

Use this balance to audit the record before the next deal's exchanges. A sheet showing two surplus tricks but only one missing trick contains an error. Correct the completed hand first; otherwise the next round begins with disputed pulling rights instead of a shared result.
