Each player in turn announces whether they are in or out.

A player can, if he wants to, announce a solo game.

In August 2011 the player announced his retirement from professional football.

Then, each player must count and announce their score for marking.

It was how players like Messier announced that they were ready to play.

Neither player can announce a combination and score the seven at the same time.

Just after winning the 2006 Asian games, both players announced that they would never play again together.

For example, a player may build a 2 onto a 7 and announce "building nine," provided he has a 9 in his hand.

On 21 December, the club and the player announced an extension to their contract.

Following this rule all players have the opportunity to shuffle, cut and announce first.
