-
A Tagging Call as a call wherein a part of the call (usually the last part) feels like a Double Pass Thru.
The caller can stop the tagging action at any of the fractional Tag formations: 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4.
Several tagging calls include the word 'Tag' in their name.
Tagging Calls:
-

Beaus Fold; all Extend to the given fractional Tag formation.
