Introducion to Duplicate
INTRODUCTION to DUPLICATE INTRODUCTION TO DUPLICATE BRIDGE This book is not about how to bid, declare or defend a hand of bridge. It assumes you know how to do that or are learning how to do those things elsewhere. It is your guide to playing Duplicate Bridge, which is how organized, competitive bridge is played all over the World. It explains all the Laws of Duplicate and the process of entering into Club games or Tournaments, the Convention Card, the protocols and rules of player conduct; the paraphernalia and terminology of duplicate. In short, it’s about the context in which duplicate bridge is played. To become an accomplished duplicate player, you will need to know everything in this book. But you can start playing duplicate immediately after you read Chapter I and skim through the other Chapters. © ACBL Unit 533, Palm Springs, Ca © ACBL Unit 533, 2018 Pg 1 INTRODUCTION to DUPLICATE This book belongs to Phone Email I joined the ACBL on ____/____ /____ by going to www.ACBL.com and signing up. My ACBL number is __________________ © ACBL Unit 533, 2018 Pg 2 INTRODUCTION to DUPLICATE Not a word of this book is about how to bid, play or defend a bridge hand. It assumes you have some bridge skills and an interest in enlarging your bridge experience by joining the world of organized bridge competition. It’s called Duplicate Bridge. It’s the difference between a casual Saturday morning round of golf or set of tennis and playing in your Club or State championships. As in golf or tennis, your skills will be tested in competition with others more or less skilled than you; this book is about the settings in which duplicate happens. -

THE RECENT HISTORY OF HOME RuN BASEBALLS The summer of 1998 marked the rebirth of America's pastime, Major League Baseball, following several years of stunted growth caused by 1994's player strike. The resurgence is attributed in large part to the general public's fascination with the summer-long chase of Roger Maris's single-season record of sixty-one home runs. The St. Louis Cardinals' Mark McGwire and his Popeye-esque forearms led the charge, blasting twenty-seven home runs before the end of May, putting him on pace to hit more than eighty home runs by season's end.' In June, the Chicago Cubs' "Slammin"' Sammy Sosa smashed twenty home runs to set the all-time single-month home run record and position himself just four home runs behind McGwire, thirty-seven to thirty-three, beginning the season-long race to sixty-one.2 On August 10, Sosa finally caught McGwire, hitting his forty-fifth and forty-sixth home runs.
