Underbidding/Sandbags
If you bid four tricks but win seven tricks,
your score is only 43 (as opposed to a
possible 70). You then have three
sand-
bags. For every 10 sandbags a team has,
that team loses 100 points from their
score.
Nil Bidding
If a player feels that a dealt hand is par-
ticularly bad, the player may choose to
bid nil (0 tricks). That player’s team wins
an additional 100 points if they can keep
from winning tricks. However, the team
loses 100 points if they take any tricks.
