  • Federation Report
    REPORT OF THE FEDERATIONS COMMITTEE The American Contract Bridge League has interaction with many federations in association with the participation of its members in world championships. The most well known of these, and the ones this report will mention, are the World Bridge Federation, the United States Bridge Federation, and the Canadian Bridge Federation. The Mexican Bridge Federation is also involved in such championships, but Mexico actually sends a team to world championships much less often than do the United States and Canada, and discussing their organization will add little to the discussion. The World Bridge Federation is the sponsoring body for all world championships, including the World Team Olympiad (each leap year), the World Bridge Championships (each even numbered non-leap year), the Bermuda Bowl and the Venice Cup (each odd numbered year), and such other championships as the Executive Council of the WBF shall authorize (see the By-Laws of the WBF, which are attached.) At present these championships regularly include Senior Championships and Junior Championships, which are usually held separately from the others. The WBF assumed this role beginning in 1978. The chief governing bodies of the WBF are a Congress and an Executive Council. The Executive Council consists of five members each from Zones 1 and 2 (Europe and the American Contract Bridge League), one member from each other zone, and the President of the WBF. The Congress consists of one member from each National Bridge Organization (NBO). The true power rests in the Executive Council. However, teams represent NBOs. In Europe, where individual countries belong to the European Bridge League, and where individual bridge players pay dues to their respective NBOs, the situation is relatively simple.

  • President's Report
    EXECUTIVE COUNCIL MEETING Chennai, 28th September– 2nd October 2015 PRESIDENT’S REPORT Dear Friends, Also this year I have to start my report honouring the memory of great friends of us who sadly and in some cases suddenly passed away. Al of you are already aware of the passing of Ernesto d’Orsi and Jean-Claude Beineix and I have already reported at the meetings both of the Officers in New Orleans and of the Management Committee in Lucignano. It seems to me due today remember them that in the last meeting of the Executive Committee, hold in Sanya, were seated with us at this table. Looking at the picture of the Honour Committee members taken in Sanya, it is still very difficult to me to accept that they are no more with us. Consent to me to officially repeat in this report at the Executive Council that Jean-Claude and Ernesto were two pillars of the WBF organisation. Ernesto was one of the most eminent personalities in the history of bridge over the last forty years: an essential point of reference, who represented, with his advice and his suggestions, a sort of “permanent school” for everybody. Jean-Claude was an authoritative member of the Executive Council for ten years up to 2003, but since then has continued to serve the WBF with competence, passion and dedication at the Championships and also as Chairman for the delicate sector of the organisation of the Tournament Directors. Ernesto and Jean-Claude were great friends of us all and their memory will accompany us and all their bridge friends everywhere in the world for the rest of our lives.

  • Laws of Duplicate Bridge 2007
    Foreword to the 2007 Laws of Duplicate Bridge from José Damiani, President, World Bridge Federation: I am proud and honoured to present the Laws of Duplicate Bridge 2007. On behalf of the whole Executive Committee of the World Bridge Federation I wish first to congratulate and thank the Members of the Drafting Sub-Committee for undertaking and completing this onerous task. They deserve the gratitude of the World Bridge community. In the course of its development Duplicate Bridge has in many areas moved away from the earlier form of the game and it continues to do so. It is the duty of the World Bridge Federation to review the Laws regularly (the last time was in 1997) as a service to the Zones and the National Bridge Organisations, their Directors and their players. We acknowledge with pleasure the historic co-operation of the Portland Club, the European Bridge League and the American Contract Bridge League. Thus the WBF is happy to make its copyright freely available to the NBOs either in English or for translation into their own language. NBOs may utilise the text on the Web Site (and this foreword if they wish), but if they print in any format they are requested to put the following The Laws of Duplicate Bridge 2007 Copyright World Bridge Federation with thanks to the members of the Committee: Max Bavin, Ralph Cohen, Grattan Endicott (co-ordinator) Joan Gerard, Ton Kooijman, Jeffrey Polisner, Antonio Riccardi, William Schoder, John Wignall (Chairman).

As always, our goal is to provide information and to foster change for the better in a manner that is entertaining, instructive and stimulating. The ACBL Board of Directors is testing a new appeals process at NABCs in 1999 and 2000 in which a Committee (called a Panel) comprised of pre-selected top Directors will hear appeals at NABCs from non-NABC+ events (including side games, regional events and restricted NABC events). Appeals from NABC+ events will continue to be heard by the National Appeals Committees (NAC). We will review both types of cases as we always have traditional Committee cases.
