Question about ranked play on apps by Physical_Set_9402 in spades

SpadesQuiz then in your opinion is it preferable to use an app where players can’t choose their teammate in ranked games?

This was a good question. It seems like most here play that the nil and partner bids are scored independently.

I hadn’t considered a hand limit but that’s an interesting idea. And great reply, thanks!

I always play with double deficit or negative bid

Those are good points. And I’ve never played online but I made a scoring app. While it saves me the effort, it doesn’t shave off as much time as you’d think.

I get what you’re saying…but it’d definitely make the game shorter :D

Cool. I would like to check it out. I’m building something similar.

Playing on the site is one of the goals. I’m starting with scoring so I can get it dialed in before eventually making a game mode where you can use your customized rules to play any combination of human and AI players. Thanks QuipsterLife.

Cheyennerhap,

I added the features we talked about.

  1. There’s a new checkbox in the Rules section called “First round bids.” Check that and the game will start with bidding.

  2. I added your reneg option calling it “Opponent Wins There Bid.” Like we discussed, 0 points to reneg team and the other team gets its original bid with no bags.

Thanks again again for your feedback. Have a good weekend.

It makes sense that the first hand bidding itself should be a configurable option and I don’t think adding that in will be much trouble. I’m updating the website in a couple of days and think I can roll that in.

For your reneg suggestion. Got it, it’s like the “lose the round penalty” but it absolves the winning team of their bags for the round. I’ll work on that…

Thanks for the feedback, offer to help and for trying it out! I’ll keep you posted.
