Bisque Rules

1. The difference between the bisque allocation of each team determines the bisques given to the weaker team. (allocation shown in brackets)

2. The distribution of the bisques is determined by the captain of the weaker team.

3. Bisques can be distributed however the captain wishes, they can be distributed evenly or unevenly between the five team players.

4. The distribution of the bisques must be recorded on the match score sheet before the start of the match. 

5. Team captains are required to complete team sheets separately (inc bisque allocation) and exchange prior to match commencing.

5a. Any unused bisques at the conclusion of an individual's match MUST BE IMMEDIATELY transferred to another team member(s), even if that team member(s) is (are) part way through his/her individual match. On the conclusion of a match where un-used bisques remain any "ongoing" match MUST CEASE IMMEDIATELY and not recommence until the un-used bisques have been redistributed.  If this rule is not strictly adhered to and the "ongoing" match is not stopped immediately then any un-used bisques will be deemed forfeited and can not be re-distributed at a later time. Once an individual's match is complete it cannot be 're-visited' on the basis that bisques become available at a later stage.

6. The spirit of the competition is that team members should play in their "correct" order.

7. During each game, bisques are claimed at the discretion of the player. They can be taken at any time including game/match point.

8. Only one bisque may be taken at any one time. (ie. there must be at least one rally played in between each bisque taken).

9. Enjoy the competition!
