Here’s what those

bridgeNew members ofterms ACBL are often meanconfused by the array of terms they hear: knockout teams, red points, rookie. Here’s a list of terms and their meanings: Knockout Teams: an event in which a team (of four, five or six players -- with only four playing at a 4a time) plays another team. The losers are eliminated or “knocked out” while the winners play other winners until only one winning team remains. A KO match can last for a single session or go on for a full day (the Vanderbilt and Spingold) or longer (the Bermuda Bowl). Bracketed Knockout Teams: a KO event in which teams are divided into groups -- usually of 8, 12 or 16 -- based on their masterpoint holdings. Each group competes in a separate event with its own set of win- ners. Compact Knockout Teams: a shorter version of Bracketed KO teams. Swiss Teams: an event in which a team (of four, Four of the members of London's Bridge.
