Open Meld Placement

Display exposed sets so the source is clear.

Concept

If it is called or declared, make it visible and organized.

Called sets must be placed clearly in the open meld area. They should be visible to all players and kept in the order they were called.

This helps the table reconstruct the hand, check scoring, and avoid disputes. Concealed kongs are also placed in the open meld area in the appropriate declared form.
