  • Autumn 2015 Words from the Editor You Are Probably Aware That, in Addition to the HQ Staff at Aylesbury, the EBU Is Run by a Number of Volunteers
    The newsletter of the London Metropolitan Bridge Association Autumn 2015 Words from the Editor You are probably aware that, in addition to the HQ staff at Aylesbury, the EBU is run by a number of volunteers. There is a Board of Directors and three Standing Committees – the Tournament Committee, the Laws & Ethics Committee and the Selection Committee – almost all of whom are currently elected by the shareholders, who in turn represent each of the counties that form the union. The Board does also have some appointees filling specific roles. This arrangement is long-established but somewhat unwieldy and the Board has recently come up with proposals to reform the Standing Committees, changing them all to sub-committees of the board (there are other existing sub-committees such as the Editorial Board for English Bridge) and reducing the number of people on each. The Board would then make appointments to the various committees, encouraging suitable people to put themselves forward for this. These proposals were aired at the Shareholders’ Meeting in May. The general feeling was that the Tournament Committee, was more or less redundant, as the Aylesbury staff do all the day-to-day running of tournaments very efficiently. There is an ongoing need to review the overall strategy for tournaments, but this could readily be done by a small sub-committee or working group. With regard to the Laws and Ethics Committee, there was a further proposal to split it into two. The new L&E sub-committee would be a regulatory body only, dealing with licensed systems, alerting rules etc, and there would be a separate Disciplinary Panel to act as the judiciary, dealing with matters of discipline.

    PROMOTING the GAME of BRIDGE in SOUTH AFRICA THE BRIDGE Edition 13 Publisher: The S A B F December 2020 www.sabf.co.za Special Year-End Edition Ed.: Stephen Rosenberg [email protected] FROM THE PRESIDENT This year has been a very hard and sad year for our community. Many of us have lost family or friends, not always as a result of COVID-19, and our hearts go out to them and their families. And still this accursed plague hangs over us. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. With the announcement of the development of successful vaccines and their distribution in Europe and America over the coming James Grant months we will surely see a reduction in and eventually the eradication of this pandemic. The next few months are going to be the most trying for us, because we are letting our guard down not only as individuals but as a society. We have grown tired of the sanctions imposed on us and are now taking more risks. We are travelling more, we are visiting friends and families. Fewer people are wearing masks in public places, social distancing is no longer the norm, and we have convinced ourselves that perhaps after all we are immune to this infection. We only have to follow what is now happening in Europe to see the folly in this outlook. Personally, I would like to think that COVID-19 has forced us re-evaluate what is really important in our lives and those around us and that when we finally emerge from this trauma that has paralysed us as individuals and as a nation we will do so as a society kinder and less selfish than before, if only for a little time.

(Actually, there were none this year from EBU Crockford’s Cup Final.) It is hoped that they will provide interest and an insight into the way that people in England are ruling the game. After the success of the 2000 and 2001 editions it was decided to repeat this publication. This publication has been put on the EBU website in the L&EC section. The feedback from this will be used to decide whether to repeat this in future years. Also consideration will be given as to whether to publish it as a booklet [as is happening in other countries in similar situations]. So, whether you liked this publication or not, if you can see how you would improve it, if you would like to purchase a paper copy, or if you have any other comments, please tell the L&EC Secretary, Nick Doe. If you wish to comment on the actual appeals, the layout, the editing or the Commentary please tell the Editor, David Stevenson. The way to contact the L&EC Secretary or the Editor is detailed on the next page. Comments have been made on the appeals by an international group of people who have donated their time, for which we thank them.

  • Senior Camrose 2013
    Senior Camrose 2013 Teltscher Trophy 17th – 19th May 2013 Village Hotel & Leisure Club Coryton, Cardiff CF14 7EF £2 Senior Internationals and the Teltscher Trophy I was in Santiago for the 1993 Bermuda Bowl when news emerged that the World Bridge Federation was increasing the minimum age for Seniors from 50 to 55. I asked a member of the WBF Committee what had prompted the change. “I am 56”, came the humorous but perhaps revealingly honest reply. The more compelling reason was the major overlap between candidates for the Open and Senior national teams. Ten years later, the WBF decided to increase the age limit from 55 to 60, but the qualifying birth date remained the same for five years so those that were already eligible did not suddenly find themselves ineligible. The Zones and National Federations followed suit with the surprising exception of the ACBL where the age limit remains at 55. With Meckstroth winning National Senior events and World Open titles in the same year, might North America follow the rest of the world? Back in Britain I began the task of persuading the member nations to accept the idea of a Senior Home International. Bridge Great Britain had Home Internationals for all the categories at Zonal (European Championships) and World levels, with the notable exception of Seniors, a group which formed at least half the membership. Initially the proposals met strong resistance because of lack of volunteers to run the weekends and cost of fielding the teams. It was here that I was delighted to find a supporter in Bernard Teltscher, who offered to cover the hosting cost for the first five-year cycle.

  • Ethics in Bridge”
    “ETHICS IN BRIDGE” “TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR’S ROLE, FUNCTION, PROFESSIONALISM & DEONTOLOGY” Notes of a lecture delivered to an EBL TD's Seminar by Bill Pencharz on 7th Feb 2004 Yesterday, you were all handed three questions for consideration before this morning’s lecture. Of the three I intend only to answer the third – what is the standard of proof in cheating cases – but I hope to give you some insight into the first and stimulate discussion on the second. But before addressing the questions I want to look at Appeal No 21 from last year’s European Championships at Menton as an object lesson in what can go wrong, if the fates really conspire against the organisers of a bridge event. The Report is like the one-eighth part of an iceberg which is visible. The other seven-eighths do not make happy listening. Here are the full facts: • After normal time the Tournament Director in charge of the room had to attend (another) appeal which took a long time. No other Tournament Director remained on duty. • When the Tournament Director returned from the appeal he found the two teams (level on score) waiting. Meanwhile all the boards had been cleared away. The Tournament Director had to check the Regulations, find four extra boards and get the teams playing. 2555885.01 1 • In consequence the extra four boards were not completed until two hours after the end of normal play. • Before going to bed that evening the Tournament Director knew there would be an appeal and that the result of the appeal could affect the result of the match.
