  • “It's Only a Game”
    “It’s only a game” BRIDGE BEHAVIOUR and MISBEHAVIOUR A Welsh Bridge Union Guide Bridge Behaviour INTRODUCTION A recurring complaint in bridge is that enjoyment of the game can be compromised by the poor behaviour of a minority of players.1 The WBU Management Committee therefore set up a working party to look at these issues. This policy is based on their report, revised in the light of comments received following publication on the WBU website as a consultation document. The policy considers what should be expected of players and what could be done to im prove behaviour at the table. It distinguishes between two aspects of behaviour at the bridge table: a) Compliance with the Laws governing the ga me itself, including the m echanics of play, correction of mistakes and deterring, or redress in the event of, unauthorised information; b) Conduct and etiquette (Law 74). The importance which a player attaches to these two aspects of behaviour will depend partly on his or her own tem perament and partly on the level at which he or she is playing. W hile it is not universally true, it tends to be the case that the higher the level of the com petition, the m ore concerned a player is with a) and the less with b) . Conversely, players in clubs with a very social ethos tend to be concerned m ore with pleasan tness and enjoym ent, and less with stringent enforcement of the (other) rules. There is, however, no intrinsic conflict between the two aspects of behaviour. Experienced players can explain politely to their opponents why they are calling the Director; tournam ent novices can accept that a m istake which would have gone unpunished in their local clubs m ust necessarily be rectified ( by the Director) at a national final or a green-poi nted congress, where m ore than a pleasant evening out or a few local points is at stake.

  • Laws of Bridge Bridge Is a Game of Cards in Which Two Sides Compete
    Laws of Bridge Bridge is a game of cards in which two sides compete for advantage. As with any competition, enjoyment of the game stems from the application of ethics and the adherence to rules. The vast majority of those who play bridge consider it is better to play and lose than to win at any cost. This section provides advice, comments on the Laws of Duplicate Bridge and links to web sites that offer more in depth information and discussion. Law 74 starts with two assertions: - A player should maintain a courteous attitude at all times - A player should carefully avoid any remark or action that might cause annoyance or embarrassment to another player or might interfere with the enjoyment of the game. These two assertions govern the way bridge is played at West Coast Bridge Club. The Auction The Bidding Box The Bidding Box was introduced to reduce bidding errors and to diminish opportunites for adding ‘emphasis’ to any call. So: make sure it is your turn to call; always look at the LHS call (if there is one) before you bid; do not fiddle with the box while thinking about a call; place bidding cards on the table gently; and do not look at partner while placing bidding cards on the table. If you think there has been an irregularity in the auction, do not fix it at the table, call the Director. Alerts Bidding provides information both to your partner and the opponents. If a call contains information that your opponents might not understand, your partner must bring this to the attention of your opponents using the Alert Card.

  • The Aegean Chapter Viii the Decorative
    H. J. Kantor - Plant Ornament in the Ancient Near East, Chapter VIII: The Decorative Flora of Crete and the Late Helladic Mainland SECTION II: THE AEGEAN CHAPTER VIII THE DECORATIVE FLORA OF CRETE AND THE LATE HELLADIC MAINLAND In the midst of the sea, on the long island of Crete, there dwelt a people, possessors of the fabulous Minoan culture, who are known to have had trade relations with Egypt, and with other Near-Eastern lands. Still farther away towards the north lies the Mainland of Greece, a region that proved itself to be a very hospitable host to the graft of Minoan culture. Before the close of the LH period the ceramic results of this union were to be spread over the Near East in great profusion and it becomes necessary to define the extent of Aegean influence on those traditions of Near-Eastern art that lie within the scope of our topic. Before this is possible a concise summary of the plant ornamentation of the Aegean must be presented.1 This background forms a necessary basis without which the reaction of Aegean plant design on the main development of our story, be it large or small, cannot be determined. 1 A great deal of interest and work has been devoted to the study of Minoan decorative art almost since the beginning of its discovery, and full advantage of this has been taken in the preparation of the present survey. The chief treatments of the subject are as follows: Edith H. Hall, The Decorative Art of Crete in the Bronze Age (Philadelphia, 1907); Ernst Reisinger, Kretische Vasenmalerei vom Kamares bis zum Palast-Stil (Leipzig, Berlin, 1912); Diederich Fimmen, Die Kretisch-Mykenische Kulture (Leipzig, Berlin, 1924), Alois Gotsmich, Entwicklungsgang der Kretischen Ornamentik, Wein, 1923); Frederich Matz, Frühkretische Siegel (Berlin, 1928), covering a much wider field than is indicated by the title; Georg Karo, Die Schachtgräber von Mykenai (Munchen, 1939).

  • New Members' Booklet
    1 Welcome to the EBU We are pleased to welcome you as a new member of the English Bridge Union. However long you have been playing, and at whatever level you currently play - or aspire to play - you are very welcome as a member of the EBU. We hope you not only have fun playing bridge at your club, county or, perhaps, in national events, but also get benefit and enjoyment from being part of the national organisation. By joining the EBU you are joining a community of over 50,000 bridge players who are not only keen to play bridge, but also to support the work of the national body for bridge as we develop the game and safeguard its future. The EBU is a membership-funded organisation committed to promoting the game of duplicate bridge. It is also a National Bridge Organisation in its own right, affiliated to the European Bridge League and the World Bridge Federation. The EBU was formed in 1936, and is run for the benefit of all members. Aside from a small professional staff, based in Aylesbury, it is run by a network of volunteers, working at national, county and local/club level. The EBU is a not-for-profit organisation. The majority of its funding comes from its members - mainly through Universal Membership (see page 4), but it also receives revenue from external sources such as advertisers in its magazine, overseas entrants in its competitions, and from sales through its shop, The Bridge Warehouse. As it is ‘not-for-profit’, all profits are invested in providing activities and services for its members, counties and affiliated clubs, or saved in its reserves for future investment in major projects which will benefit bridge players in England.
