• Bidding always commences with a dummy hand
• This is a blind bid where the Player reveals the
  lowest card in the suit to be called.
• In this case Player 2 dealt and Dummy 1 opens the
  bidding, with Player 1 revealing the 5 of
  Diamonds, hence the bid is 6 Diamonds (lowest
  possible call)

• The second bid is always made by the other dummy
  hand
• In this case Player 2 has revealed the 8 of
  Spades, hence the bid is 7 Spades (lowest
  possible call)
• Bidding continues, with the next bid to be made
  by Player 1
• Dummy hands can make another bid, but usually
  they pass 2nd time around. If they do bid again,
  they must run with the lowest call possible for
  the suit revealed.
• Note When Player 1 deals, the bidding goes in an
  anti-clockwise direction, as it will commence
  with Dummy 2, followed by Dummy 1, and continue
  in that direction.
