Daily Bulletin Sunday, July 23, 2017 Page 3 JUST FOR NEW PLAYERS Tips to improve your game - Part 3 By Brent Manley In general These tips don’t cover bidding or card play, and there are no fancy conventions or exotic systems. I’m hoping to help you get into the right frame of mind for the challenges you face at the table. Get your ZZZs I used to try to play on the final day of an NABC, when there is usually enough free time to try a session on the morning of the second Sunday. I’ve pretty much given that up because after the long days and going to bed at 2 a.m. or later, I’m too tired to play a decent game. With that in mind, I highly recommend that you do your best to get adequate rest each night you are in Toronto. I know it’s not easy to just jump into bed and nod off with all the bridge swirling around in your head: Declarer went down four in 5♥. Why didn’t I double? Why didn’t I lead a spade against 3NT?

It’s tough to keep track of all the things that go track of the cards and perhaps find that elusive I often tell people that you don’t have to run on at a bridge table, and it’s harder still if you’re queen because you’ve been watching and you know like an Olympic champion to enjoy the sport (that’s trying to do it on inadequate sleep. that RHO, who passed as dealer and has already certainly true in my case).

Appealing a ruling Players in NABC+ events who want to appeal a director’s ruling initiate the process by speaking with the director who delivered the original ruling. The table director will fill out paperwork regarding the appeal, and the appellants will explain what they believe to be wrong with the initial ruling. From there, the case may be handled by a variety of means. When the appeals reviewer receives the case, the circumstances of that particular case will determine whether the case can be resolved by the original staff (in the case of misapplication of Law or regulation, for instance), a panel of directors, or even a committee-type hearing which could include bridge experts.
