spades (as the highest suit) is scored for the most posts(points??) of any suit

well, acksherly, spades and hearts are both "major suits", and they score the same, although for bidding purposes spades do outrank hearts.

and for the record, the expression should probably be 'in no trumps', b/c a 'no trumps' bid supercedes (and outscores, as well) *all* of the suits, including spades.


beatcha to it, ann & ant!
