2018/19 Pinochle
If you would like to play pinochle this year please contact Jacqui or Vickie. We will need to know if you are a playing as a regular or sub and if you would like to host. As we did last year, we will only use subs if regular players cannot play and they are needed.
TRI-V PINOCHLE 2018-2019 Rules/Guidelines
Pinochle for the season will start on Sunday, October 21. Pinochle will be played on the third Sunday of the month, unless notified. We will be playing in individual homes.
1. Starting time will be 3:30 p.m., with cards starting at 4:00 p.m. The host will collect and keep $2.00 per guest. The host provides cards, ice and snacks. Guests are to bring their own drinks and a dish to share for the evening.
2. Each host will receive tallies and schedules. Hosts will number the tallies. All players will draw from the same group of numbered tallies. Your partner may be a man or woman. The number of your tally will coincide with the schedule. The schedule provides information on partners and tables. Each player will play six games. Make sure your name is on the tally. Put your partner’s number on the tally for each round. This is for checking scores, if necessary.
3. Reneges should always be corrected if possible. If unable to correct and the bidding team is guilty, the bidder is set. If unable to correct and the renege is not made by the bidding team, then the bid is automatically made.
4. The prize money will be based on the number of couples playing that evening. $3.00 PRIZE money will be collected from ALL players. Prize money will be distributed at the end of the evening.
5. If a hand is opened, re-bidding is allowed. Bidding ends when three (3) consecutive passes have been made AFTER the last bid. If you pass, you may re-enter the bidding. For example, you may wish to give your partner a meld bid, if he bids after you have already passed.
6. Guests who cannot play must, give three day notice to Jacqui or Vickie.
7. Please notify the committee NOT the host if you need a sub
We are looking forward to a fun year!
Your committee: Jacqui Schaefer and Victoria Angelosanto
