Re: This Happened
I do not even know what this is. I feel like I was alive during the time period you must be referencing, yet no idea. Whatever version is running, like me.26, occasionally has gaps in its record. This might be one?

EDITED: never mind! I was just confirming that when we turn over our stack it's the reverse order of the way we played it, except that it doesn't matter to me because we always start with our own stack even if we're not the first one to bid.
