Basic Rules
Rank of Cards: Big Joker, Little Joker, Deuce of Diamonds, Deuce of Spades, Ace, King, Queen, Jack etc.
All matches are played to a set point total or time limit, whichever occurs first.
Sandbags will be tracked but WILL NOT be counted toward your final score i.e. “bid 5, get 7” is 50 points not 52 points with the sandbags tracked on the bottom of the score pad.
Blind bids are allowed but limited based on match point total. Team must be down 100 points to place a blind bid at any point.
The first hand DOES NOT bid itself. All hands will be bid on and scoring rules applied accordingly.
Misdeals. No Spades and/or face cards is not considered a misdeal.
Spades cannot be played until first used as a cut card.
A renege challenge during any hand negates (3) books from the team’s final book count who loses the challenge.
No cross-boarding: spoken words, gestures, coded language, coaching partner at any point while cards are in play.
