2. The match will be on 15 points i.e. Who ever get 15 points first; they will declare as wieners.

4. If there is odd number on next level, a draw will take place from failed teams and one team will go to next level. That will rule follow for semi-final and third place.
1. 28 played by four players in fixed partnerships, partners facing each other.
2. There are eight cards in each of the usual "French" suits: hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades. suit rank from high to low: J-9-A-10-K-Q-8-7.
3. The aim of the game is to win tricks containing valuable cards. The values of the cards are: Jacks 3P, Nines 29, Aces 1P, Tens 1p, K, Q, 8, 7 no points.
4. Deal and play are counter-clockwise; the cards are shuffled by the dealer and cut by the player to dealer's left. Four cards are then dealt to each player, one at a time.
5. Based on these four cards, players bid for the right to choose trumps. Each bid is a number, and the highest bidder undertakes that his or her side will win in tricks at least the number of points bid. The player to dealer's right speaks first, and must bid at least 14. The only exception is if the first player has no point cards at all - only Kings, Queens, 8s and 7s. In this case instead of bidding 14 this player may (but is not obliged to) demand a redeal. All players throw in their cards, there is a new shuffle and cut and the same dealer deals again. The other three players have no right to demand a redeal at this stage however poor their cards may be.
6. After the first player has bid, subsequent players, in counter-clockwise order, may either bid higher or pass. The auction continues for as many rounds as necessary until three players pass in succession. There is one restriction during the bidding: if you wish to bid over your partner's bid, your left hand opponent having passed, you must bid at least 20.
7. The final bidder chooses a trump suit on the basis of his or her four cards, and places a card of this suit face down. The dealer then completes the deal, giving four more cards to each player, so that everyone has eight. After everyone has seen their eight cards, the final bidder or the bidder's partner may increase the bid if they wish, but if they do so the new bid must be at least 24.
8. The bidder is not allowed to lead a card of the concealed trump suit unless there is no alternative. If another player leads the concealed trump suit, the bidder must either follow suit from hand or discard a card of a different suit.
9. If another player leads a non-trump suit and the bidder has no cards of this suit, the bidder is not allowed to play a trump card from hand. The bidder must either discard a card of a different non-trump suit or reveal the concealed trump card and play it, thereby beginning phase two.
10. If the bidder opening trump card firstly, he should use the face down card.
11. You can’t play the Jake for points- otherwise unless there is no other cards.
Redeal
In certain circumstances the deal is annulled. The cards are thrown in, the shuffle and cut are repeated and there is a new deal by the same dealer.
-
If any player's eight-card hand includes all four jacks, the player must show them and the cards are redealt.
-
If it turns out that the bidding team has all 8 trumps, and the other team has none at all, the cards are redealt. This will of course not be known until the trump suit is revealed.
Cot – must call at the beginning of the 6th card.
If the winning team wins all the tricks they score twice the usual number of game points. To prevent this, their opponents can offer to surrender before the end of the play. If the winning side accepts the surrender, play ends and they just score the single amount for the bid; if the winning side insists on playing on and wins all the tricks, they win a double game, but if they lose any tricks at all, they lose a double game.
Thani
Some play that the bidder can announce "Thani" (or "Adi") after all eight cards have been dealt. This is an undertaking that the bidder win every trick alone without help from partner. The bidder leads to the first trick. If the bidder wins every trick, the bidder's team scores 3 points; if not they lose 4 points. (Presumably the Thani is lost if the bidder's partner wins a trick.)
