7.--(_a_) The candidates first in the room have the preference. When there
are more than six candidates, and there is a doubt or question as to the
preference of two or more of them, they determine their preference by
drawing. Those drawing the lower cards have the preference. The table is
complete with six players. On the retirement of any of those six players,
the candidates who, in the first draw, drew the lowest cards have the prior
right to enter the table.
(_b_) If there are more than four players they all draw, and the four who
draw the lowest cards play first.
(_c_) When two or more candidates or players draw cards of equal value they
draw again, if necessary, to determine their precedence.
