The Hollywood Rules

| There are no rules of Spoofing, but there are a number of conventions: | |||
| 1. | No impossible calls. | ||
| 2. | No gloating. | ||
| 3. | A new Spoofer cannot be expected to pay for his first ever spoof. The participants should play the round again. (This is not always strictly observed.) | ||
| 4. | The call of "Cawood Pass" can only be made, and is only successful, if the winning call has already gone, i.e. it is not successful if it is made by a player calling before the player making the winning call (or if nobody calls correctly). | ||
| 5. | The "Haughton Six" can only be called in a school of three, when the opening caller is holding three, which he reveals at the time of his call (i.e. before the other two call). | ||
| 6. | Spoofing evenings are traditionally held on Tuesday. Other Spoofing evenings (such as on the occasion of a visiting Spoofer from overseas) are termed "Extraordinary Spoofs". | ||
