  • 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.

  • England Are European Champions, Win Gold at Bridge Competition in Budapest
    THE ENGLISH BRIDGE UNION Broadfields, Bicester Road Aylesbury, Bucks, HP19 8AZ Telephone 01296 317200 25th June 2016 PRESS RELEASE For immediate release England are European Champions, win Gold at bridge competition in Budapest As the battle for European glory continues on the football pitches of France, England's Women's bridge team have ensured that Britain will have at least one European Championship winning side this summer. England's Women's bridge team have won gold at the 53rd European Team Championships which have concluded today in Budapest. The team was in second or third place for most of the seven day event, but moved in to the gold medal position in the penultimate round of matches, and beat second placed Poland in the final match to confirm their place atop the table. This is the sixth consecutive World or European event at which the England Women's team has won a medal making them one of the most successful British international teams in any sport in recent years. The team was: Heather Dhondy & Nevena Senior; Sally Brock & Nicola Smith; Fiona Brown & Catherine Draper; non-playing-captain: Derek Patterson; Coach: David Burn. England's Open team1 and Senior team2 were less successful in their competitions, with both sides disappointingly finishing in 10th place. Teams from Wales and Scotland also took part, but none finished in the top 10. 37 countries participated in the Open competition, 24 in the Seniors' competition and 23 in the Women's competition. The event was run by the European Bridge League - www.eurobridge.org - and Brexit won't affect British participation in the 2018 event.
