2Following the scores (everyone)
Team totals sit at the top: Team Pataka and Team Dhamaka. The team ahead is marked Leading.
Activities are listed below, with each team's points. Points in (brackets) are from an activity that isn't finished yet, so they aren't in the total yet.
Tap an activity to see it round by round, and individual scores for Rummy, Tambola and the Murder Mystery.
The pages refresh by themselves. On the TV, open the event and tap TV view.
