If a player and his partner, either separately or conjointly, hold—
1st. The four honours, they score four points.
2nd. Three of the honours, they score two points.
3rd. Two honours only, they do not score. (In Short Whist honours do not count.)
4.—Those players who at the commencement of a deal are at the score of nine cannot score honours.
5.—The penalty for a revoke takes precedence of all other scores; tricks score next; honours last.
6.—Honours, unless claimed before the trump card of the following deal is turned up, cannot be scored.
7.—To score honours is not sufficient: they must be called at the end of the hand; if so called, they may be scored at any time during the game.
8.—If an erroneous score be proved, such mistake can be corrected prior to the conclusion of the game in which it occurred, and such game is not concluded until the trump card of the following deal has been turned up.
9.—If an erroneous score, affecting the amount of the rubber, be proved, such mistake can be rectified at any time during the rubber.
