What are the trump suits in bridge?
The trump suit for a particular deal at bridge is determined by bidding. The last suit named before three consecutive passes (or no bids) is the trump suit. If the last bid was some level of No Trump, the deal is played without a trump suit. The level plus the last-named suit (trump suit), or No Trump, is called the contract. The partnership winning the contract is the declaring partnership, and the partner who first bid the last-bid suit is called the declarer. Declarer's partner is called the dummy (who has no role in the play of the hand).
