Notice that the higher the bid the greater the reward if the bid is made. This may enable players that get behind

to quickly catch up. For convenience, the points to award are at the bottom of the score sheet.

Scoring Example

In this example, the scorekeeper has recorded each bid in the upper right hand corner. In Round 1 Bob, Helen

and Corky each bid 0 while Kim and Randi each thought they could take the trick and bid one. Since there was

only one trick in Round 1, and the round was “over-bid”, at least one person had to be disappointed. In this case

it was Kim and Kim received a score of 0. Randi bid one and made one for a score of 11. Bob, Helen and Corkey

each made their bid of zero and are awarded 10 points each.

In Round 2, none of the players thought they were going to take a trick (a Round that is “under-bid”, but Bob

and Helen ended up taking a trick each. Since neither Bob nor Helen made their bid, their score does not

increase. Corky, Kim and Randi each made their zero bid, so each gets ten points added to their previous score.

Round 3 of the example shows a round that is “even”. Not only that, but everyone made their bid and the

appropriate increase in their score is recorded. Note that even though Corky was behind after Round 2, bidding

two and making two results in more points than Randi – even though Randi made her zero bid. The more you

bid, the greater your reward – if you make your bid.

Irregular Bid

If a player bids out of turn, his bid stands. If a player bids in proper turn, he may change his bid as long as it is

before the next player bids.

Exposed Card

If a player exposes a card from his hand or leads out of turn or plays out of turn, he must leave the card face up

and the table and play it at his first legal opportunity thereafter.

Revoke

Failure to follow suit when able is a revoke. A revoke may be corrected before the next trick is led. Any cards

played to the trick after the revoke may be retracted. The card retracted by the revoker becomes an exposed

card. If a revoke is not corrected in time, the round is redealt by the same dealer and 10 points are deducted

from the offender's score.

Insufficient or Too Many Cards

Each player is responsible for making sure the correct numbers of cards were dealt them. After play has started,

if it is found that a player has too few or too many cards, the round is redealt by the same dealer and 10 points

are deducted from the offender’s score.
