New Electronic Device Policy The ACBL Board of Directors revised the Electronic Device Policy at its meetings last week. The new policy goes into effect immediately. 1.11.1 The electronic device policy at NABCs allows players to bring electronic devices into the playing area. Except for health- related equipment and/or by permission of the Director-in-Charge of the tournament, all such devices must be inoperable and turned off. 1.11.2 Any device capable of either sending or receiving electronic signals must not be visible during the session. 1.11.3 This policy applies to all pairs, team members, captains, coaches, play recorders and kibitzers with the exception of those persons designated by the ACBL. This policy is in force throughout any actual playing session or segment of play. 1.11.4 A violation of the policy will result in an automatic penalty pursuant to Law 91 of the Laws of Duplicate Bridge of one full board at matchpoints/board-a-match scoring, 12 IMPs at IMP pairs/knockouts or 20% maximum of VPs available per match in a Swiss team event for the first offense. A second offense will result in disqualification from the event for the pair/team. Kibitzers violating this policy will be required to leave the playing area for the remainder of that session.
