You have just pulled off a quiet II Ultimo at a friendly table. Your opponent asks why you didn’t announce it before the hand, the way you would with Pagat Ultimo, to double the reward.
What do you tell them?

Answer
There is nothing to announce. The core game’s single announcement window, taken right after the opening reveals, covers only the three named bonuses: Pagat Ultimo, Four Kings, and the Trull. The II Ultimo lives outside that list, out in the House Rules’ richer bonus board, so it has no announced form at all under the current text. Until a table adopts the extended board and rules its value, it is a quiet-only feat by default: check the house rules before you deal.
