| Do you use the Rule of 11? |
In contract bridge, the Rule of 11 is a mathematical tool that helps players determine what to play at trick one. It's used when the opening lead is the fourth best card from the defender's suit. The partner of the opening leader subtracts the rank of the card led from 11 to determine how many cards higher than the lead are held by the declarer, dummy, and themselves. The partner can then subtract the number of cards in their hand and the dummy to determine the number of cards in the declarer's hand.
