The bidding team automatically makes their bid. Sun City Grand Pinochle Rules Wrote:If the non-bidding team reneges, they lose their meld and card count.

Remaining points as of which point in the hand? There may be a case where someone reneges early on in the hand but it's not apparent until the last trick.

If I'm reading that correctly, that implies that you can bid 67 (or some other random number not divisible by 5) if the previous bid were 60.

(I suppose it helps to clarify that you are not awarded an extra 4 points for the trump marriage when it's used in the run - some people might overlook this fact.) These are simply the sum of the individual meld scores.

The last two lines in the meld table are superfluous.

A single roundhouse is worth exactly the same as the individual meld values, but you are awarded 20 extra points for a double roundhouse.

Although it would be a long-shot to get these, I don't see why they wouldn't just follow the same pattern as the other 'arounds.'

In the double deck version, I find it somewhat interesting that there is no meld value for quadruple queens and jacks around.

I guess the Offense is allowed to declare a non-qualifying trump suit if they have no marriages.
