New 2008 Law 70E2 empowers the regulating authority to regulate on this
issue. If there is a clear directive from the local regulating authority
then at least the rulings will be consistent. For better or for worse, my
NBO has determined that (if no contrary statement is made) in leading
(including trumps), the highest is deemed played; in trumping anotherit has
greatly reduced the amount of arguing and dissension regarding claims.
A Reg Auth could also add that in claimimg to win a trick led by another
player, the lowest card (or the highest) is deemed to be played.
In the absence of WBF guidance, if regulating authorities add regulations
such as or similar to these then the endless and pointless discussions that
Herman so rightly protests would be replaced by consistent rulings within
the NBO concerned.
