Rubber: When a side has won two games, it receives the premium for the rubber-500 points if the other side has won one game, 700 points if the other side has not won a game. The scores of the two sides are then totaled, including both trick points and premium points, and the side which has scored the most points has won the rubber. The players then draw again for partners and seats and a new rubber is begun.

Digest of the Contract Bridge Laws
The Scope of the Laws: The laws are designed to define correct pro­cedure and to provide an adequate remedy where a player, by irregu­larity, gains an unintentional but unfair advantage. The laws are not designed to prevent dishonorable practices. Ostracism is the ultimate remedy for intentional offenses.

New Shuffle and Cut: Before the first card is dealt, any player may demand a new shuffle and cut. There must be a new shuffle and cut if a card is faced in cutting.

Changing the Pack: A pack con­taining a distinguishable damaged card must be replaced. The pack originally belonging to a side must be restored if reclaimed.

Redeal: There must be a redcal if, before the last card is dealt, a redeal is demanded because a player is deal­ing out of turn or with an uncut pack. There must be a redeal if the cards are not dealt correctly, if a card is faced in the pack or else­where, if a player picks up the wrong hand and looks at it, or if at any time (until the end of play) one hand is found to have too many cards and another too few (and the discrepancy is not caused by errors in play).

When there is a redeal, the same dealer deals (unless the deal was out of turn) with the same pack, after a new shuffle and cut.

Missing Card: If a missing card is found, it is deemed to belong to the deficient hand, which may then be answerable for exposing the card and tor revoke through failure to play the card in a previous trick. But if a missing card is found in an­other hand, there must be a redeal; or in a trick, the law on defective trick applies. If a missing card is not found, there must be a redeal.

Surplus Card: If a player has a surplus card due to an incorrect pack or incorrect deal, there must be a redeal. If the surplusage is due to omission to play to a trick, the law on defective trick applies.

Drawing Attention to an Irregu­larity: Any player (including dummy if he has not forfeited his rights) may draw attention to an irregular­ity and give or obtain information as to the law covering it.
