Building Blocks – Near Places are made in 3 -4 and 5 -6 Near places are made in the first internal place-making position you reach Treble runs through the places, dodge afterwards Near Places in 3 -4 from the front Near Places in 5 -6 from the back Ring near places if the treble takes you from lead or lie (i. e. has just prevented you doing a double dodge)

Treble runs through the places Far Places in 3 -4 from the back Far Places in 5 -6 from the front Ring far places if the treble is the second bell from lead or lie (i. e. just after a double dodge)
