  • “It's Only a Game”
    “It’s only a game” BRIDGE BEHAVIOUR and MISBEHAVIOUR A Welsh Bridge Union Guide Bridge Behaviour INTRODUCTION A recurring complaint in bridge is that enjoyment of the game can be compromised by the poor behaviour of a minority of players.1 The WBU Management Committee therefore set up a working party to look at these issues. This policy is based on their report, revised in the light of comments received following publication on the WBU website as a consultation document. The policy considers what should be expected of players and what could be done to im prove behaviour at the table. It distinguishes between two aspects of behaviour at the bridge table: a) Compliance with the Laws governing the ga me itself, including the m echanics of play, correction of mistakes and deterring, or redress in the event of, unauthorised information; b) Conduct and etiquette (Law 74). The importance which a player attaches to these two aspects of behaviour will depend partly on his or her own tem perament and partly on the level at which he or she is playing. W hile it is not universally true, it tends to be the case that the higher the level of the com petition, the m ore concerned a player is with a) and the less with b) . Conversely, players in clubs with a very social ethos tend to be concerned m ore with pleasan tness and enjoym ent, and less with stringent enforcement of the (other) rules. There is, however, no intrinsic conflict between the two aspects of behaviour. Experienced players can explain politely to their opponents why they are calling the Director; tournam ent novices can accept that a m istake which would have gone unpunished in their local clubs m ust necessarily be rectified ( by the Director) at a national final or a green-poi nted congress, where m ore than a pleasant evening out or a few local points is at stake.

  • Acol Bidding Notes
    SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION The following notes are designed to help your understanding of the Acol system of bidding and should be used in conjunction with Crib Sheets 1 to 5 and the Glossary of Terms The crib sheets summarise the bidding in tabular form, whereas these notes provide a fuller explanation of the reasons for making particular bids and bidding strategy. These notes consist of a number of short chapters that have been structured in a logical order to build on the things learnt in the earlier chapters. However, each chapter can be viewed as a mini-lesson on a specific area which can be read in isolation rather than trying to absorb too much information in one go. It should be noted that there is not a single set of definitive Acol ‘rules’. The modern Acol bidding style has developed over the years and different bridge experts recommend slightly different variations based on their personal preferences and playing experience. These notes are based on the methods described in the book The Right Way to Play Bridge by Paul Mendelson, which is available at all good bookshops (and some rubbish ones as well). They feature a ‘Weak No Trump’ throughout and ‘Strong Two’ openings. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ INDEX Section 1 Introduction Chapter 1 Bidding objectives & scoring Chapter 2 Evaluating the strength of your hand Chapter 3 Evaluating the shape of your hand . Section 2 Balanced Hands Chapter 21 1NT opening bid & No Trumps responses Chapter 22 1NT opening bid & suit responses Chapter 23 Opening bids with stronger balanced hands Chapter 24 Supporting responder’s major suit Chapter 25 2NT opening bid & responses Chapter 26 2 Clubs opening bid & responses Chapter 27 No Trumps responses after an opening suit bid Chapter 28 Summary of bidding with Balanced Hands .

  • Laws of Bridge Bridge Is a Game of Cards in Which Two Sides Compete
    Laws of Bridge Bridge is a game of cards in which two sides compete for advantage. As with any competition, enjoyment of the game stems from the application of ethics and the adherence to rules. The vast majority of those who play bridge consider it is better to play and lose than to win at any cost. This section provides advice, comments on the Laws of Duplicate Bridge and links to web sites that offer more in depth information and discussion. Law 74 starts with two assertions: - A player should maintain a courteous attitude at all times - A player should carefully avoid any remark or action that might cause annoyance or embarrassment to another player or might interfere with the enjoyment of the game. These two assertions govern the way bridge is played at West Coast Bridge Club. The Auction The Bidding Box The Bidding Box was introduced to reduce bidding errors and to diminish opportunites for adding ‘emphasis’ to any call. So: make sure it is your turn to call; always look at the LHS call (if there is one) before you bid; do not fiddle with the box while thinking about a call; place bidding cards on the table gently; and do not look at partner while placing bidding cards on the table. If you think there has been an irregularity in the auction, do not fix it at the table, call the Director. Alerts Bidding provides information both to your partner and the opponents. If a call contains information that your opponents might not understand, your partner must bring this to the attention of your opponents using the Alert Card.

  • Autumn 2015 Words from the Editor You Are Probably Aware That, in Addition to the HQ Staff at Aylesbury, the EBU Is Run by a Number of Volunteers
    The newsletter of the London Metropolitan Bridge Association Autumn 2015 Words from the Editor You are probably aware that, in addition to the HQ staff at Aylesbury, the EBU is run by a number of volunteers. There is a Board of Directors and three Standing Committees – the Tournament Committee, the Laws & Ethics Committee and the Selection Committee – almost all of whom are currently elected by the shareholders, who in turn represent each of the counties that form the union. The Board does also have some appointees filling specific roles. This arrangement is long-established but somewhat unwieldy and the Board has recently come up with proposals to reform the Standing Committees, changing them all to sub-committees of the board (there are other existing sub-committees such as the Editorial Board for English Bridge) and reducing the number of people on each. The Board would then make appointments to the various committees, encouraging suitable people to put themselves forward for this. These proposals were aired at the Shareholders’ Meeting in May. The general feeling was that the Tournament Committee, was more or less redundant, as the Aylesbury staff do all the day-to-day running of tournaments very efficiently. There is an ongoing need to review the overall strategy for tournaments, but this could readily be done by a small sub-committee or working group. With regard to the Laws and Ethics Committee, there was a further proposal to split it into two. The new L&E sub-committee would be a regulatory body only, dealing with licensed systems, alerting rules etc, and there would be a separate Disciplinary Panel to act as the judiciary, dealing with matters of discipline.

It has been my privilege to follow its progress and watch the book take shape. A book such as this should not to be put into a beginner’s hands, but it should become a well-thumbed reference source for all players who want to improve their game.
