Learn your way around Declaration Practice

Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Check whether a complete 13-card hand can satisfy every declaration requirement. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Work at your own pace. Start a 10-question session. Read the visible rule label and wild rank, if shown. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.

500 stored and rule-checked questions; ten questions per session. Questions can repeat across sessions. Practice is solo, with no rating, cash reward or account.

Build familiarity through play

Begin with the objective. All cards need a non-overlapping grouping, at least two sequences and at least one pure sequence. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

What you are aiming for

Check whether a complete 13-card hand can satisfy every declaration requirement. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Take a moment to read the table.

The order of play

  1. Start a 10-question session. Read the visible rule label and wild rank, if shown.
  2. All cards need a non-overlapping grouping, at least two sequences and at least one pure sequence.
  3. Study the complete hand before answering. Choose Valid or Not valid.
  4. Read the explanation after submitting. Each question accepts one submitted answer.
  5. Continue to the tenth question for a session score; start another session for a new selection.

Using the playing area

Tap the answer buttons or selected card; the deadwood exercise uses a numeric input. Next question appears after an answer. Use another round to revisit a decision. Before making a move, check the cards in view.

Try this example

Example hand: A♥ A♠ Q♣ Q♦ Joker 6♠ Q♥ 6♦ 8♦ 7♦ 7♠ A♣ Q♠. Wild rank 3. All thirteen cards can be split into legal non-overlapping melds, including two sequences and a pure sequence. Use another round to revisit a decision.

A useful caution

Use the rule sheet as a reference. Do not judge only the best three cards; every remaining card matters. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.

Can you give an example?

One pure run, another joker-assisted run and two complete sets can cover a valid 13-card hand. Work at your own pace. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

How many questions are available?

This exercise contains 500 stored questions. A session selects ten without repeating within that session. Use the rule sheet as a reference. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

Can I change a submitted answer?

No. Read the explanation, then continue. Start another session to practise again. For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.

Are the answers checked against the rules?

All cards need a non-overlapping grouping, at least two sequences and at least one pure sequence. Work at your own pace. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

Will I always see new cards?

No. The bank is finite, so another session may include a previously played question. Use the rule sheet as a reference. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.

What does the score measure?

The score is the number of correct answers in this ten-question session. It is not a skill certificate or a prediction of match results. Keep the active rule in mind. Use another round to revisit a decision.
