  • 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.

  • Advanced Tips
    ADVANCED TIPS In card play there is the rule "8 ever 9 never", whereby if you have only eight cards in suit and you are looking for the Queen it is best to finesse and if you have 9 then you play for drop. Larry Cohen has turned this rule on its head for COMPETITIVE BIDDING and the rule he has come up with is totally the opposite. 1 In competitive bidding 8 never 9 ever- when you and your partner are known to hold only an eight card trump fit don't compete to 3 level when the opponents are pushing you up But with a 9 card fit then take the push to the 3 level- further examples of this can be found in his Bols tip If declarer or dummy has bid two suits and you are strong in one of the suits then lead a trump. The reason 2 for this is that declarer could very easily try and ruff this suit out and by leading a trump you are removing two trumps. If you have made a limit bid, then be respectful and leave all decisions to partner - Don't bid again unless 3 forced or invited If you think you are in a good contract don't now be silly and go for an overtrick when making your contract is going to produce all the Match points. The corollary applies that if you think you are in lousy 4 contract, maybe 3NT and you think everybody else will be in 4S making an overtrick, Now you have to go for that overtrick in order to compete for some sort of reasonable score.
