    A balanced Howell rotation for mn duplicate bridge players is constructed from one for n players and one for m players, provided that a configuration known as a partitionable starter exists for m players. Such a starter exists if m-1 is a prime of the form \(4k+3\) for which -2 is a primitive root.
