How this bidding rule works
The next position costs a defined step above the current one, rather than any amount the bidder chooses. It removes the guesswork and caps the drama, so boards running it tend to have flatter, more crowded leaderboards.
Boards are filed under this rule when their own copy matches a published phrase list. The matched phrase is printed in each board’s evidence ledger, so the classification can be checked rather than taken on faith.
