Any number from 0 "Nil" to 13 is a legal bid for each player. Players may not be allowed to pass. Bids do not have to increase with each player. There's only one round of bidding. Example : Alex bids 4. Then Beth bids 3, Charlie bids 2 and David bids 2. Alex and Charlie need to win at least 6 tricks; Beth and David need to win at least 5. A player who bids Nil zero is claiming that they won't win any tricks during the hand.
If they player is successful, their partnership earns a point bonus. However, if the player wins one or more tricks, their partnership receives a point penalty. If a player bids Nil and their partner bids a number, then the partner must still try to win that number of tricks. Charlie, her partner, bids Nil. Charlie will play the hand trying not to win any tricks.
However, Alex needs to win at least four tricks. Note : It's legal for partners to both bid Nil. If both are successful, the partnership earns a point bonus. However, if both partners fail, the partnership receives a point penalty. If one partner succeeds and the other fails, the bonus and penalty wipe each other out; the net effect is 0 points.
