SM♠Sergeant Major IndiaTHREE PLAYERS. ONE CLEAR PLAN.
Targets

Why are the targets different?

They follow roles rather than permanent player names.

Read the roles

In the Pagat reference the dealer aims for eight tricks, the player on the dealer’s left for five and the player on the right for three. The deal moves clockwise.

See it on the diagram

The target diagram lets you move the dealer marker while keeping A, B and C fixed in clockwise order. Read the role beside each number rather than remembering that a particular name always has a particular target.

Keep the distinction in your record

The scorebook stores a fixed player order and derives the roles for each hand. It does not move a player’s earlier results into another column when the deal changes.
