| ETIQUETTE #2 - TOUCHING OPPONENTS CARDS |
Touching the the cards of any other player is illegal at any time. Many players believe you can take them out and look at them if you ask the player's permission: this is incorrect. Not withstanding this it is unsporting not to allow your partner or opposition to see what was in your hand.

| OPENING LEADS |
You and your partner should have a good system for making LEADS to ensure you have the best opportunity to defeat a contract. It is a great way to pass information - legally - to your partner.

| DISCARD SYSTEMS |
When you are void in a suit you should indicate to your partner what suit you would like him to LEAD by making a particular DISCARD. You should also be aware of what information is being transferred by your opponents from their DISCARD system. Never be afraid to ask!!
Why not investigate the different systems available such as REVOLVING, McKENNEY ++ others
