How the result works

Play four-hole Omaha and split the result: the best high hand takes one side and the best qualifying low with five cards eight or lower takes the other. Exactly two hole cards are required for each side. A player may use different hole cards for high and low, and scooping both sides earns a sweep counter. Most challenge points after one orbit wins. Format: Dealer rotation.
