The 50th anniversary edition of the European Bridge Teams Championships will be held in Kursaal, Ostend, Belgium, from 22 June to 3 July 2010. The Championships comprise three series - for Open, Women and Senior national teams. Anniversary festivities also are included in the programme. In the previous edition of the Championships, held in Pau, France, 2008, a new format was introduced in the Open series: teams were split in two groups and played a round robin within each group; the top teams then joined in a second round robin from which the new European Champions emerged. In 2008, each qualifying team met again in the second round robin with the teams it had met in the qualifying round, and the result of the first match did no longer matter. This year, this will not happen. Qualified teams will carry over to the second round robin the entire result of their qualifying matches, and these matches will not be played again. Accordingly, the duration of the Championships will be reduced by three days, allowing it to start on Tuesday instead of the usual Saturday.

  • Federation Report

    Federation Report

    REPORT OF THE FEDERATIONS COMMITTEE The American Contract Bridge League has interaction with many federations in association with the participation of its members in world championships. The most well known of these, and the ones this report will mention, are the World Bridge Federation, the United States Bridge Federation, and the Canadian Bridge Federation. The Mexican Bridge Federation is also involved in such championships, but Mexico actually sends a team to world championships much less often than do the United States and Canada, and discussing their organization will add little to the discussion. The World Bridge Federation is the sponsoring body for all world championships, including the World Team Olympiad (each leap year), the World Bridge Championships (each even numbered non-leap year), the Bermuda Bowl and the Venice Cup (each odd numbered year), and such other championships as the Executive Council of the WBF shall authorize (see the By-Laws of the WBF, which are attached.) At present these championships regularly include Senior Championships and Junior Championships, which are usually held separately from the others. The WBF assumed this role beginning in 1978. The chief governing bodies of the WBF are a Congress and an Executive Council. The Executive Council consists of five members each from Zones 1 and 2 (Europe and the American Contract Bridge League), one member from each other zone, and the President of the WBF. The Congress consists of one member from each National Bridge Organization (NBO). The true power rests in the Executive Council. However, teams represent NBOs. In Europe, where individual countries belong to the European Bridge League, and where individual bridge players pay dues to their respective NBOs, the situation is relatively simple.

    Laws of Duplicate Bridge 2007

    Foreword to the 2007 Laws of Duplicate Bridge from José Damiani, President, World Bridge Federation: I am proud and honoured to present the Laws of Duplicate Bridge 2007. On behalf of the whole Executive Committee of the World Bridge Federation I wish first to congratulate and thank the Members of the Drafting Sub-Committee for undertaking and completing this onerous task. They deserve the gratitude of the World Bridge community. In the course of its development Duplicate Bridge has in many areas moved away from the earlier form of the game and it continues to do so. It is the duty of the World Bridge Federation to review the Laws regularly (the last time was in 1997) as a service to the Zones and the National Bridge Organisations, their Directors and their players. We acknowledge with pleasure the historic co-operation of the Portland Club, the European Bridge League and the American Contract Bridge League. Thus the WBF is happy to make its copyright freely available to the NBOs either in English or for translation into their own language. NBOs may utilise the text on the Web Site (and this foreword if they wish), but if they print in any format they are requested to put the following The Laws of Duplicate Bridge 2007 Copyright World Bridge Federation with thanks to the members of the Committee: Max Bavin, Ralph Cohen, Grattan Endicott (co-ordinator) Joan Gerard, Ton Kooijman, Jeffrey Polisner, Antonio Riccardi, William Schoder, John Wignall (Chairman). The historic co-operation of The Portland Club The European Bridge League The American Contract Bridge League is gratefully acknowledged PREFACE TO THE 2007 LAWS OF DUPLICATE BRIDGE The first Laws of Duplicate Bridge were published in 1928.

    THE INTERNATIONAL BRIDGE PRESS ASSOCIATION Editor: John Carruthers This Bulletin is published monthly and circulated to around 400 members of the International Bridge Press Association comprising the world’s leading journalists, authors and editors of news, books and articles about contract bridge, with an estimated readership of some 200 million people BULLETIN who enjoy the most widely played of all card games. www.ibpa.com No. 563 Year 2011 Date December 10 President: PATRICK D JOURDAIN Editorial 8 Felin Wen, Rhiwbina ACBL tournaments are noted for their ability to handle walk-up entries, even in elite Cardiff CF14 6NW, WALES UK (44) 29 2062 8839 events with hundreds of tables. Only events which require seeding of teams require [email protected] some sort of pre-tournament entry. For all other events, entries are accepted up until Chairman: game time. PER E JANNERSTEN Nevertheless, there are some areas that can be improved upon and these were evident Banergatan 15 SE-752 37 Uppsala, SWEDEN in Seattle at the Fall NABC. The first was in broadcasting the events over BBO. The main (46) 18 52 13 00 events at the Fall Nationals are the Reisinger, the Blue Ribbon Pairs (each three days in [email protected] length), the Open Teams (Board-a-Match) and the Open Pairs (each two days long). Executive Vice-President: There are also big events for seniors, juniors and women, the biggest of which is the JAN TOBIAS van CLEEFF Senior Knockout Teams. So we had ten days of top-flight competition – unfortunately, Prinsegracht 28a only three days’ worth was broadcast on BBO (semifinals, one match only, and finals of 2512 GA The Hague, NETHERLANDS the Senior KO and the third day of the Reisinger).

    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.

Sullivan/New Mediatrix Printed in Canada by Webcom Ltd. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 11 10 09 08 07 Preface Guy Levé, an experienced player from Montpellier in southern France, has a passion for bridge, particularly for the play of the cards. For many years he has been planning to assemble an in-depth study of all known card play techniques and their classification. The only thing he lacked was time for the project; now, having recently retired, he has accom- plished his ambitious task. It has been my privilege to follow its progress and watch the book take shape. A book such as this should not to be put into a beginner’s hands, but it should become a well-thumbed reference source for all players who want to improve their game.
