Union Triples

Bear in mind that this is an asymmetric method!
Plain hunt below the treble.
When hunting up, the rules for passing the treble in the first two places are the same as for Grandsire Triples:
Pass treble in 1-2 up = Make 3rds
Pass treble in 2-3 up = Dodge 4-5 up
When passing the treble in the third place then the rule is the same as for Grandsire Doubles:
Pass treble in 3-4 up = Make 5ths, dodge 4-5 down & in
If you get past those places without passing the treble then double dodge on the back unless you are in the hunt:
Pass treble in 4-5 up = Double dodge 6-7 up
Pass treble in 5-6 up = Double dodge 6-7 down
Pass treble in 6-7 up = Hunt bell
The standard calls are the same as Grandsire Triples. However, as bells are already dodging in 6-7 they are unaffected. The end result has an effect more like a Grandsire Doubles call.
3rds place is made when the treble is in 1-2 down
The bell which would have made 3rds is unaffected
The bell which would have dodged 4-5 up makes 3rds & in, becoming the hunt bell
Other bells double dodge in 4-5 or 6-7
Similar to a bob,with 2nd & 3rds places also made as the treble is leading
The bell which would have made 3rds instead makes 2nds & in, becoming the hunt bell
The bell which would have dodged 4-5 up makes long 3rds
Other bells double dodge in 4-5 or 6-7
