(RULE 2, REVISION)

2.  If the HOST OF the TABLE is booted (and cannot save the table),  by
IPLAY both teams will get their meld plus what points for tricks taken at
the time of the boot.

AFTER A BOOT HAS OCCURRED, REGROUP AND KEEP SCORES MANUALLY.


3. If a host team is set (the opponents have already taken enough to set the
bid), before the boot occurs, the table host team loses their meld and will
deduct the amount of the bid from their score. If the team that didn't get
the bid boots, they lose the meld and points for the hand, unless they have
already saved.

IF THE TABLE HOST TEAM IS ON THE FINAL PLAY OF A HAND AND A BOOT OCCURS, AND
THEIR SAVE CARD IS DISPLAYED, THE TEAM WILL GET CREDIT FOR THE SAVE. IF
THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT A BOOT SITUATION, PLEASE ASK YOUR TOURNAMENT
HOST FOR CLARIFICATION. THE DECISION OF THE TOURNAMENT HOST IS FINAL
