  • “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.
