The " rule of 11 " involves a mathematical
calculation applicable when the original
lead is construed as a fourth highest one.
It is sometimes possible to obtain an
exact reading of the distribution in the
led suit in all four hands. The rule states:
" Subtract the pips on the card led from
11; the result gives the number of cards
in the three hands other than the
leader's which are higher than the one
led. " (See The Official Encyclopedia of
Bridge for other popular " rules " of the
game: Rule of Two and Three, Seven, 12,
16, 18 and 22.)
Rule of 15
A guideline to help determine in close
cases whether to open the bidding in the
pass-out seat: add the number of highcard
points to the number of spades in
the hand. If the total is 15, the
recommendation is to bid. Person points
also refers to the number of high-card
points plus the number of spades.
S
Sacrifice or Save
A sacrifice or a save is a bid made
knowing that it probably won't be
fulfilled. It is based on the premise that
the penalty to be paid will be less than
the adverse score were the opponents
permitted to play and fulfill their
contract.
