    Introducion to Duplicate

    INTRODUCTION to DUPLICATE INTRODUCTION TO DUPLICATE BRIDGE This book is not about how to bid, declare or defend a hand of bridge. It assumes you know how to do that or are learning how to do those things elsewhere. It is your guide to playing Duplicate Bridge, which is how organized, competitive bridge is played all over the World. It explains all the Laws of Duplicate and the process of entering into Club games or Tournaments, the Convention Card, the protocols and rules of player conduct; the paraphernalia and terminology of duplicate. In short, it’s about the context in which duplicate bridge is played. To become an accomplished duplicate player, you will need to know everything in this book. But you can start playing duplicate immediately after you read Chapter I and skim through the other Chapters. © ACBL Unit 533, Palm Springs, Ca © ACBL Unit 533, 2018 Pg 1 INTRODUCTION to DUPLICATE This book belongs to Phone Email I joined the ACBL on ____/____ /____ by going to www.ACBL.com and signing up.

It assumes you have some bridge skills and an interest in enlarging your bridge experience by joining the world of organized bridge competition. It’s called Duplicate Bridge. It’s the difference between a casual Saturday morning round of golf or set of tennis and playing in your Club or State championships. As in golf or tennis, your skills will be tested in competition with others more or less skilled than you; this book is about the settings in which duplicate happens.

  • The Brozel Convention

    The Brozel Convention

    The Brozel Convention The Brozel Convention is a convention that allows a Partnership to play in any suit at the 2-level over the Opponent’s 1-NT opening. In exchange it gives up the opportunity to double the Opponents with a hand equivalent or better. This convention may be used in either the direst (2nd) seat or the balancing (4th) seat. A. Brozel Bids: 1. One-Suited Hands: - a. A “Double” = A 1-suited hand of at least average strength. The Partner of the “Double” may “Pass” thereby converting the bid to a penalty scenario. Alternatively, Partner is expected to “Puppet” “2C” so that the original may “Pass” if his/her suit is Clubs, else re-bid his/her long suit. 2. Two-Suited Hands: - The system, here pivots principally around the Heart suit, evidencing 5-5 or longer in the two suits referenced, again with at least average strength. The Responder simple chooses from the two choices given, usually when holding three or more pieces from the two selections given. a. “2C” = Hearts and Clubs (Responder either “Passes” or Chooses 2nd choice) b. “2D” = Hearts and Diamonds (Responder either “Passes” or Chooses 2nd choice) c. “2H” = Hearts and Spades (Responder either “Passes” or Chooses 2nd choice) d. “2S” = Spades and an Unspecified Minor Suit – Here, Responder may “Pass” thereby accepting the Spade interference, else bid “2-NT” asking the Brozel bidder to reveal his/her Minor suit. e. “2-NT” = Both Minor Suits - (Responder chooses from the two Minor choices) 3. Three-Suited Hands: - To show a 3-suited hand with good high-card strength, the Brozel bidder would jump to the 3-level in the short (singleton or void) suit.

    1 MARTINO CARBOTTI LA MIA FEDE nei Santi di ogni giorno Pugliesi Editore 2 Introduzione Non è assolutamente semplice per me, figlio, delineare la figura di mio padre: Ninuccio Carbotti. Non vi nascondo di averci pensato per molto tempo, dubbioso, circa i tanti aspetti su cui avrei dovuto soffermarmi e una delle domande che mi sono subito posto è stata: ma oltre alla figura di padre modello che io conoscevo, cos'altro conosco della vita di mio padre? E qui ho avuto delle perplessità ..... sì dico perplessità perché tutti i padri presumo hanno un determinato comportamento con i figli, dettato dal ruolo, c'è chi lo fà con più severità e chi meno, chi è pedante e chi meno, chi è accondiscendente e chi meno e via dicendo ma sicuramente tutti si apprestano a svolgere questo compito basilare con uno sconfinato e immenso amore !!! Ma un padre oltre a questo è anche un “uomo”ed è proprio il profilo umano, di uomo tra gli uomini, che mi ha portato ad iniziare questo lavoro, oserei dire di ricerca, esegetico, di tutti gli scritti e archiviazioni varie che con pazienza e passione certosina egli aveva iniziato ed implementato nei vari anni della sua vita. Ho avuto la fortuna di crescere in una famiglia molto unita, sotto tutti gli aspetti. Mio padre apparteneva a quelle belle famiglie di una volta, numerose: erano otto figli, madre, padre e “zizì” a carico (una zia di mia padre, sorella minore di mia nonna, la quale viveva sotto lo stesso tetto a causa di lievi problemi invalidanti) e come tradizione comanda, tutti i figli maschi e dico tutti nessuno escluso, hanno ereditato dal padre l'arte della lavorazione del legno.

  • The Assault on 1 NT

    The Assault on 1 NT

    The Assault on 1 NT Recently, the Bridge Bulletin ran an article outlining several methods of interfering with 1 NT (October 2007). Here is a synopsis of the “General Convention Chart” methods mentioned in that article. I notice some of the earlier methods I learned (Astro, Brozel, etc.) are not even listed. Bridge conventions come and go, but it’s good to know what is currently being used, even if you don’t use them. WASHINGTON SYSTEM Recommended by GLUBOK Dbl = penalty Dbl = at least two suits (four or more cards), 2. = both majors (2D by advancer asks fewer than 3 clubs which major is longer/better) 2. = at least 2 suits, at least one major, at 2 = diamonds and a major least 3 clubs 2 = natural 2 = natural 2 = natural 2 = natural 2 = natural 2NT = minors SCUM (Shape, Color, Majors) DONT (Disturb Opponent’s No Trump) Dbl = two suits of the same shape (rounded or Dbl = one suit pointed) 2. = clubs plus a higher-ranked suit 2. = two suits of the same color 2 = diamonds plus a higher-ranked suit 2 = majors 2 = hearts and spades 2 = natural 2 = spades 2 = natural 2NT = any strong two-suiter 2NT = minors 3-level = natural, preemptive HELLO CAPPELLETTI Dbl = penalty or strong hand Dbl = penalty/values 2. = diamonds or a major-minor two-suiter 2. = one-suited hand 2 = transfer to hearts 2 = majors 2 = majors 2 = hearts and a minor 2 = spades 2 = spades and a minor 2NT = clubs 2NT = minors 3. = minors 3 = majors, stronger than 2 BROZEL (I had room for it, so here it is) HELLO IN PASSOUT SEAT Dbl = one-suited hand Dbl = relay to 2C 2.
  • Overcalling Following an Opponent's Strong 1-Notrump Opening

    Overcalling Following an Opponent's Strong 1-Notrump Opening

    - 1 - Overcalling Following an Opponent’s Strong 1-NoTrump Opening Overcalling subsequent to an Opponent’s opening bid of 1-NT is infrequently utilized by many beginning bridge players. The novice player becomes afraid to bid owing to the strength expressed by his/her opponent’s 1-NT opening bid, and is frightened, even intimidated, by the prospect of being set should he/she stoop to venture forth with any form of interference. More and more Players, however, are coming to the realization that to overcall, when appropriate under certain conditions, is productive, and often quite enjoyable. Many different conventions for use under such circumstances are available and are commonly used. Among the most popular ones used today are “ Capeletti,” “ Brozel ,” and “ DONT.” These conventions, and others, allow the potential overcaller to bid with both 1-suited and 2-suited hands, and to do so in both the direct (2 nd ) and the balancing (4 th ) seat. They allow a Partnership to compete, while at the same time disturb the potential bidding sequence of the opposition. The question arises, however, as to what is the minimum suggested safe threshold of values necessary to allow one to interfere successfully without the likelihood for a disastrous outcome. The answer is the distributional features of the hand, not the point count, the latter of which is of much less importance. This suggested minimum threshold, however, differs depending upon whether the potential overcaller sits in the direct (2 nd ) seat or in the balancing (4 th ) seat, with respect to the 1-NT opening bid.
  • The Use of Alerts in the Game of Bridge

    The Use of Alerts in the Game of Bridge

    The Use of Alerts in the Game of Bridge Alerts are required for all bids which diverge from a defined standard set of meanings. The use of an “ALERT” call by any player is, therefore, a method of drawing the Opponent's attention to the fact that a particular “Bid”, “Double”, or “Pass” by one’s Partner has a conventional, special, or unusual significance, possibly unbeknownst to the Opponents. On the ACBL Convention Card, the “alertable” conventions are in red, and the ones just requiring announcement are in blue. The "Alert" is announced immediately after the conventional bid by one’s Partner, and before the original bidder’s left-hand Opponent bids. It is triggered by the Partner of the conventional bidder either via a verbalization of the word “ALERT”, by the knocking on the table, or by the presentation of an “Alert” card when using bidding boxes during the bidding phase of the game. No explanation of the meaning of the conventional bid is then given unless requested by either Opponent, each in turn, and only at his/her turn to bid. If the explanation imparted by the bidder’s Partner is incorrect, it is improper for the bidder to correct the error perpetrated by his/her Partner, or to indicate in any manner that a mistake has been made at the time the misrepresentation occurs. Subsequently, if the misinformation is extended by the team achieving the final contract, the misinformation must be corrected before the lead card is tabled.
