  • Bridge Glossary

    Bridge Glossary

    Bridge Glossary Above the line In rubber bridge points recorded above a horizontal line on the score-pad. These are extra points, beyond those for tricks bid and made, awarded for holding honour cards in trumps, bonuses for scoring game or slam, for winning a rubber, for overtricks on the declaring side and for under-tricks on the defending side, and for fulfilling doubled or redoubled contracts. ACOL/Acol A bidding system commonly played in the UK. Active An approach to defending a hand that emphasizes quickly setting up winners and taking tricks. See Passive Advance cue bid The cue bid of a first round control that occurs before a partnership has agreed on a suit. Advance sacrifice A sacrifice bid made before the opponents have had an opportunity to determine their optimum contract. For example: 1♦ - 1♠ - Dbl - 5♠. Adverse When you are vulnerable and opponents non-vulnerable. Also called "unfavourable vulnerability vulnerability." Agreement An understanding between partners as to the meaning of a particular bid or defensive play. Alert A method of informing the opponents that partner's bid carries a meaning that they might not expect; alerts are regulated by sponsoring organizations such as EBU, and by individual clubs or organisers of events. Any method of alerting may be authorised including saying "Alert", displaying an Alert card from a bidding box or 'knocking' on the table. Announcement An explanatory statement made by the partner of the player who has just made a bid that is based on a partnership understanding. The purpose of an announcement is similar to that of an Alert.

    Instructions to Run a Duplicate Bridge Game

    Appendix Instructions to Run a Duplicate Bridge Game Supplies: Table Mats Scoring slips Pre-dealt Duplicate Boards Pencils Place a table mat (Game Attachment 1) indicating table number and direction on each table. Have the players sit at the tables and write their names, table number and direction on a slip of paper. Example: Table 1 East/West John Brown and Sally Davis Table 1 North/South Steve Smith and Dave Johnson The East/West Players will play East/West for the remainder of the game. The North/South Players will play North/South for the remainder of the game. Distribute one Duplicate board to each table in consecutive order. Table 1 will receive board 1. Table 2 will receive board 2. Table 3 will receive board 3. Complete until every table has one board. While distributing the boards, pick up the slips with each pairs name and location. To begin the game each pair will play the board at their table against the pair sitting at their table. They will record their score on the scoring slips (Game Attachment-2). 9 minutes per round should be given to each table to play the hand at their table. When the hands are completed and scored the first „round‟ is over and we are ready to begin the next round. North/South will remain at the table where they played the first round. This is their „home table‟ and they remain at the table until the end of the game. The East/West pair will move to the next higher table.

Clement face Uli in our last Swiss round today, and while Clement will likely end up first in the Swiss, Uli and the teams ranked 4-8 cannot afford too big a loss since Seligman in 9th is 11 VP's behind Uli in third, closely followed by Skeidar and France Sud. Fredin, BridgeScanner and even Orca have a chance to make the top-8 with major victo- ries, so our last match looks very promising. Right after the results of the last round of the Swiss, the teams ranked 1-3 mst choose their quarter-final opponent among the teams ranked 5-8. We ask the first placed team to email their choice as quickly as possible and the next ranked teams to be ready.

    Commentary on the 2017 Laws of Duplicate Bridge

    Commentary on the 2017 Laws of Duplicate Bridge Preface The WBF Laws Committee is happy to announce the release of its Commentary on the 2017 Laws of Duplicate Bridge. Bridge is a complicated game that requires detailed instructions explaining how it is to be played. The Laws however do not always describe in detail how the Tournament Director should proceed in carrying out his duties. The goal of this Commentary is to help the TD correctly apply the Laws of Bridge. The Laws sometimes describe a default approach, while also offering Regulating Authorities the option to choose a different approach. In much the same way, the interpretation of certain laws may differ between regions and so the Laws Committee has selected the approach they believe to be best. Such choices are not set in stone, and it is possible this may change over time. This Commentary will be a dynamic document, with regular updates. The Committee encourages on-going comment and it welcomes suggestions for possible improvement as well as requests for further interpretation. It hopes that this Commentary will be helpful. Ton Kooijman (Chairman - WBFLC) January 2019 Introduction The focus of this document is to highlight the changes from the 2007 Code and to amplify WBFLC interpretations. As such, it is first and foremost a guide for TDs and not part of the 2017 Code. This commentary addresses each law in numerical sequence; however not all laws are covered. The contents are based upon the WBFLC’s corporate view and general understanding of the Laws as they currently stand.

CHICAGO 1933 &VlZ%z Copyright, 1933 by Albert Whitman & Co. Printed in U. S. A. ©CIA 67155 NOV 15 1933 PREFACE THE authors of this digest of the generally accepted methods of Contract Bridge have made an exhaustive study of the Approach- Forcing, the Official, and the One-Over-One Systems, and recog¬ nize many of the sound principles advanced by their proponents. While the Approach-Forcing contains some of the principles of the One-Over-One, it differs in many ways with the method known strictly as the One-Over-One, as advanced by Messrs. Sims, Reith or Mrs, Kerwin. We feel that many of the millions of players who have adopted the Approach-Forcing method as advanced by Mr. and Mrs. Culbertson may be prone to change their bidding methods and strategy to conform with the new One-Over-One idea which is being fused with that system, as they will find that, by the proper application of the original Approach- Forcing System, that method of Contract will be entirely satisfactory. We believe that the One-Over-One, by Mr. Sims and adopted by Mrs.

Points refer to a total value of a hand, including shape. HCP refers only to a hand’s high-card points. A natural suited bid shows 4+ cards in its suit. A natural notrump bid shows a desire to play in notrump. A non-natural bid is called an artificial bid. A convention is a commonly used artificial bid that has been given a name. Conventions are not part of Standard American, but many are commonly or nearly-universally played. A forcing bid demands a bid from partner if the next opponent passes. A forcing bid is also known as one- round-forcing. A signoff is a bid that strongly requests a pass or correction to another suit shown by the player signing off. Partner normally may not make a bid in any suit not shown by the signing-off player. A signoff usually occurs when the captain of the auction places the final contract. An invitational bid communicates that the partnership should bid a game unless partner has very minimal strength for previous actions. A game-forcing bid means that the partnership cannot play any contract below 3NT.
