Euchre... was looking for a clarification on the rules for dealing...

Please explain. :tongue2:

After reading your post, the only thing I could think of as questionable dealing is whether anything other than 2/3 dealing is technically legal (e.g. 'whorehouse dealing' 1/4) or whether the rules explicitly state you must deal 2/3 to the left, and not 3/2.

So then I had to go to Wikipedia to look it up too. :biggrin:

Oh, and completely not relevant, but I just wanted to parrot this for MY WIFE!!!!!

Many sources for euchre strategy exist, but one popular and humorous version are the Ten Commandments of Euchre by noted Euchre master Harvey Lapp. The commandments are:

1. Thou shalt not pass a biddable hand.
2. Thou shalt counteth upon thy partner for one trick.
3. Thou shalt not trumpeth thy partner's ace.
4. Thou shalt trumpeth thy partner's king.
5. Thou shalt leadeth trump to thy partner's order.
6. Thou shalt not leadeth trump to thine opponent's order.
7. When thou hath ordered trump, leadeth thy right bower to smite thy foes.
8. Ordereth not the right bower unto thy partner's hand unless thou canst go alone.
9. Goeth alone whenever thou canst, unless thy team hath eight or nine points.
10. Thou shalt not complaineth about the cards the Lord thy Euchre God hath bestowed upon you.

Emphasis added for commandments 5 and 6. :wink2:

I was indeed looking for a ruling on the legality of 4/1 dealing, and was satisfied with this sentence: "Some dealers prefer to deal in groups of one and four, however dealing in groups of five and zero or one by one is uncommon." :tongue2:
