A candidate desiring to enter a table must declare such wish before any
player at the table cuts a card, either for the purpose of beginning a
new rubber or of cutting out.
* * * * *
In the formation of new tables, those candidates who have neither
belonged to nor played at any other table have the prior right of entry.
Those who have already played decide their right of admission by
cutting.
* * * * *
A player who cuts into one table while belonging to another shall
forfeit his prior right of re-entry into the latter, unless by doing so
he enables three candidates to form a fresh table. In this event he may
signify his intention of returning to his original table, and his place
at the new one can be filled.
* * * * *
Should any player quit the table during the progress of a rubber, he
may, with the consent of the other three players, appoint a substitute
during his absence; but such appointment shall become void with the
conclusion of the rubber, and shall not in any way affect the
substitute's rights.
* * * * *
If anyone break up a table, the remaining players have a prior right to
play at other tables.
