not be taken back).
7. Deal four (4) or (5) cards at a time.
8. No misdeals except by dealer. (Please count your
cards after every
deal to avoid a renege. If, after play has started,
a team has
the wrong number of cards in their hand it is a
renege.
9. Renege constitutes a set. Opponents receive all 50
tricks, plus
their meld.
10. 50 cents per set per team member to be paid to the
scorekeeper
immediately. The scorekeeper turns in any set money
to the
committee at the end of that game.
11. After first card is played, the meld stands. All
meld must be
shown to be counted.
12. Bidder must have a marriage in trump. If no
marriage, bidder is
set and the hand is not played but the opponents
get their meld.
13. Bidding team must have 20 meld. If less than 20
meld for the
bidding team, the bidding team is set and does not
have to play
it out, but you must show the hand to verify less
than 20 meld.
The opponents get their meld if they have 20 meld
or more.
14. Sets will be deducted from your score and not added
to the
opponents score.
15. If you meld on the board, you must play the hand.
Opponents get
meld and tricks they take even if bidder is set (if
they have
20 or more meld and 20 or more in tricks).
16. Igames/Iplay rules apply for play (i.e. you must
beat the last
card played, or if out of that suit you must trump
if you have
trump. If you can beat the trick but don't, it is a
renege.)
Lucky Eagle Casino is a smoking establishment so smoking
is permitted
here, but lets all try to be courteous about it. |
