In the case of three players only, one plays a Dummy hand in combination
with his own. This being a very decided advantage, the Dummy-player is
handicapped 25, that number of points being scored to his opponents' credit
before the game begins. Rubbers are not played, each game being settled for
separately, and the three players take Dummy in rotation, game by game. The
partner of Dummy always takes first deal of each game. When either of
Dummy's opponents deals, the Dummy-player must look first at the hand from
which he has to lead, and must double or re-double from his knowledge of
that one hand only.
