Double elimination. Loose two games you are out. We are starting on time

5/5 or 6/4 add up the points or one team go up one in order to play
No sign language, body movements, hints to let your partner know what you have or what to play. Let all cards hit the table before scooping the book up.
Keep all books in order. One person collect the books.
After the bid is written either team can go up ONE only
Board is 4
Regular deal no cross dealing. Regular one cut. No tapping the deck, cut the cards
Renig: call the host over. Explain what happened, pick the right book if you do collect 3 books. If you select the wrong book the other team gets 3 books
Any card you throw out sticks...pay attention. If you threw out the wrong suit by mistake, catch it before the play begins definitely before the book is scooped up. Call the host over for determination of consequences or not. Or just pay attention
Game goes to 300
First diamond deals
Winner gets trophy and bragging rights
We will have a white board or electric view of the chart so everyone will know who they are playing and where they stand. No guessing involved
Have fun, thank you for being a member and I look forward to another great year!
