All games to will be to 350 ( no hand limit)

Rotation of players will be finalized at registration---no teams may play each other more than once without the express consent of the tournament director

"Please keep all conversation to a minimum in consideration of other players in the room ""NO"" table talk concerning the hand or strategy will be allowed--this should be brought to the tournament director's attention immediately--offending team will be set for 50 points and opponents will get their meld and tricks pulled regardless of the number of tricks pulled--further offense will result in the team forfeiting game and or disqualification from tournament (no refunds)

If a player has aces around and they are not melded they MUST be declared before 1st card is played. Failure to do so results in a renege

If player getting the bid does not have a marriage the hand is not played and neither team gets meld because trump cant be named--set team loses 50 points HAND MUST BE SHOWN

If a renege is upheld and the offending team won the bid they go set for their bid and opponents get their meld and tricks pulled if 20 or more---if non bid winners the team goes set for 50 points and opponents get their meld and tricks pulled if 20 or more

If a misdeal occurs and discovered before 1st card is played, hand is thrown in and redealt--if it is discovered after play begins dealer's team goes set for 50 points and opponents get meld plus tricks pulled if over 20

If a player makes a misplay (or drops a card face up on the table) and it is discovered before the cards are gathered it is not a renege---card remains face up on the table and must be played at first opportunity

No meld can be added after the 1st card of the hand is played

Cards should be gathered in a way that a renege can be determined--if a renege is called and upheld the offending team goes set for 50 points or amount bid and opponents get their meld plus tricks pulled if over 20--if the renege is not upheld then the team calling the renege goes set for 50 points or amount bid and opponents get their meld plus any tricks pulled if over 20

If team getting the bid has 20 meld the hand must be played-(even if the bidding team cant save--ie needing to pull 51 or more tricks) if non bidding team does not get 20 tricks the do not get their meld

If a team pulls a BOSTON (all tricks in a hand)  it is game and 350 points are added to their score
