  •  On the day the directors are always right so please refrain from criticism directed towards any director after they have made a decision at your table
  •  Remember you as a player can eliminate the lead out of turn penalty by placing your card face down when leading and waiting for your partner to say thankyou partner, indicating that it is your turn to lead.
  •  Remember you as a player can eliminate the penalties for bid out of turn by checking if you are the dealer before making your bid, so slow down take a look before bidding remember you always have time to check before bidding.
