The sandbagging rule is used to ensure players bid their hands
even when they have a large lead. When sandbagging is in effect,
if a sum of a teams' extra books is 10 or more, 100 points is
taken from their score. This rule prevents teams from
underbidding their hand (i.e. bidding a 4 when they can really
make 9, underbidding by 5 books). The example below shows how
sandbagging scoring is calculated. The default setting is OFF.
To turn on Sandbagging,
1. From the Options menu, choose Preferences.
2. Click box next to Subtract Overtricks An x in the box means
the option is on.
3. Choose the OK button.
