  • MILITARY BRIDGE DIRECTIONS Bridge Knowledge Not Required – Only a Desire to Have Fun!
    MILITARY BRIDGE DIRECTIONS Bridge Knowledge not required – only a desire to have fun! The game is played using the following equipment: 1. Set of Flags – 1 large fort flag and a small flag for each team. 2. Schedule Sheet – names trump for each round and shows where respective “Scouts” are to go. 3. A deck of cards for each table. Definitions: Trick: Each play is called a trick. There are 13 tricks in each game. The first to win 7 tricks wins that game. Trump: The card suit designated on the Schedule Sheet that leads each trick (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades or no-trump). Each table has one Captain who is player #1 and three Scouts, players #2, 3 & 4. These can be selected or cut for (the highest card is your team’s Captain). Captains retain their seats during the entire 10 games, sending out their Scouts as per the Schedule Sheet to “capture” other Nations’ flags. The Scout designated to stay and play with the Captain sits opposite the Captain and they play against the Visitor Scouts at your table. The Captain always deals, announces the trump suit (from the Schedule Sheet), and makes the first lead. In Military Bridge, there is no Dummy Hand and no bidding. Trump is indicated on your Schedule Sheet. The play is similar to bridge, except that all players participate. The captain leads, and then each player (in clockwise order) plays a card. If playing a “no trump” hand, the highest card in the suit led wins the trick. With trump you may trump suit led only if you have none of that suit in your hand, then highest trump card played wins the trick.

  • February 24, 2017 President Donald J. Trump the White House United States of America
    February 24, 2017 President Donald J. Trump The White House United States of America Dear President Trump, Since the founding of this country, science has been fundamental to the advancement of sound policy and economic prosperity and innovation. Science improves the lives of Americans, stimulates our economy, advances our understanding of our world, and protects us and our families from harm. As you select advisors that will help you to draft a blueprint for American policy, we urge you to make appointing a Science Advisor an immediate priority. Science is in the DNA of the United States. It plays an integral part in our nation's security, economic growth, public health, and infrastructure. Appointing a Science Advisor quickly will enable the Administration to maximize investments in science and develop a strategic plan that secures America’s leadership in science. The Science Advisor will assist your administration in driving innovation, and provide scientifically sound solutions to the pressing issues facing our nation today; including updating deteriorating infrastructure, combatting health epidemics, providing clean air and water, and securing valuable natural resources and minerals. Appointing a Science Advisor is a smart investment for our nation and for keeping our position as a scientific leader globally. Due to the integral role of the Science Advisor, we urge you to appoint an individual with a strong scientific background who understands the rigorous scientific method, the need for evidence-based science, and who can leverage the collaborative nature of the scientific community and the value of scientific research in shaping America’s future. As supporters of science, we urge you to work with our scientific organizations as you commence the selection process and the important task of advancing America’s scientific enterprise.

  • The Law Wins
    THE LAW WINS A Brief Look at the Law of Total Tricks* Most of you have heard about the Law of Total Tricks. The following is an attempt to explain it. Whether or not you have heard it discussed, it is applied by experts and the better bridge players frequently and with great success. Simply, the Law of Total Tricks says that the total number of tricks available on a bridge deal in a competitive auction is equal to the total number of trumps. The total number of tricks means the combined total tricks available to both sides if each were to play a contract in their longest and best trump fit assuming best play and defense. The total number of trumps means the combined total of trumps and is reached by adding together the number of trumps from each side's best trump suit. Sound a little difficult? It really isn=t....it=s just a little difficult to put it into an easily understood paragraph! I suggest that read and reread the above until you think you understand it. Now why, you might ask, do you care? The Law of Total Tricks is a tool to be used in competitive bidding situations. The law infers that the total trick count is constant and that neither the location of high cards nor the distribution of the suits changes it. With proper application of the Law, better decisions can be made on whether to bid more or to defend. Look at the following hand to see how the Law of Total Tricks works: North Í KJ6 Ì AQ102 Ë QJ10 Ê K98 West East Í 1043 Í AQ52 Ì 953 Ì K4 Ë 932 Ë K84 Ê AQ107 Ê J654 South Í 987 Ì J876 Ë A765 Ê 32 In this example North-South's best fit is hearts (8) and East-West's best fit is clubs (8).

A standard pack of 52 cards is used. There are four Suits: z Spades, y Hearts, x Don’t play a single card until you have planned how you will make your Diamonds and w Clubs. Each suit has thirteen cards in the order: contract! A,K,Q,J,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2. Ace is high. The plan will influence decisions you will have to make during the play, THE PLAY for example knowing when to delay drawing trumps, instead of drawing them all at the beginning. The cards are dealt so that each player receives 13 cards. It is best to arrange them in your hand with alternating red suits and black suits. The bidding starts with the dealer.

  • Offense to Defense Ratio (ODR) by Neil H
    Evaluating Your Offense to Defense Ratio (ODR) By Neil H. Timm Duplicate Match-point Bridge is all about bidding in competition and how many tricks each side can take. However, you do not want to outbid the opponents if the penalty you earn is more than the value of the contract they would have earned. If you can make eight tricks in hearts and they can make eight tricks in spades, and they bid 2♠, then you should bid 3♥ if you know with some certainty that you can expect to go down by at most ONE trick since to score of -50 or -100 is better than the 110 that their 2♠ contract would produce, bid to the 3-level; since any positive difference (even 10 points) to the majority of the field is decisive in terms of match points. Even two tricks down for a score of -100 is fine if not vulnerable; but if vulnerable a score of -200 is clearly bad so you may not want to outbid them when vulnerable if you were to get doubled. The challenge is to accurately evaluate how many tricks you and the opponents can take. Remember that the aim of competitive bidding in regular match-point pairs is not to bid what you can make. Rather you are striving for the best possible score on the board, the par score, even if that means bidding to go down - provided it scores better than allowing the opponents to make their contract. Therein lies the rub since most of the methods used do evaluate the number of tricks do not guarantee success because “success” depends upon high-card strength, shape, the distribution of HCP values, and suit quality.
