• Nobody changes their facing direction on a Spread. EN: 100

  Add Czech
• Spread is usually used as a suffix to another call (e.g., Follow Your Neighbor & Spread). EN: 110

  Add Czech
• Because there are different versions of Spread, sometimes there is an ambiguity. For instance, from R-H Columns: Centers Trade & Spread. Do the Centers Trade then all Spread, or do the Centers Trade then Centers only Spread? The caller should use helper words to disambiguate. EN: 120

  Add Czech
• From Back-to-Back Lines, Wheel & Deal & Spread is the same as Wheel & Spread. However, from a Tidal setup (e.g., from an As Couples Two-Faced Line), they are quite different. EN: 130

  Add Czech

Is it okay for someone to backup for a Spread? (e.g., from Trade By?)
