Expected In-Behavior Just as all kinds of competitive-type endeavors have their expected in- behavior, so does duplicate bridge. One important thing to keep in mind is that this is a competitive adventure.....as opposed to the social outing that you may be used to at your rubber bridge games. Now that is not to say that you can=t be sociable at the duplicate table. Of course you can.....and should.....just don=t carry it to extreme by talking during the auction or play.

  • Bridge Glossary
    Bridge Glossary Above the line In rubber bridge points recorded above a horizontal line on the score-pad. These are extra points, beyond those for tricks bid and made, awarded for holding honour cards in trumps, bonuses for scoring game or slam, for winning a rubber, for overtricks on the declaring side and for under-tricks on the defending side, and for fulfilling doubled or redoubled contracts. ACOL/Acol A bidding system commonly played in the UK. Active An approach to defending a hand that emphasizes quickly setting up winners and taking tricks. See Passive Advance cue bid The cue bid of a first round control that occurs before a partnership has agreed on a suit. Advance sacrifice A sacrifice bid made before the opponents have had an opportunity to determine their optimum contract. For example: 1♦ - 1♠ - Dbl - 5♠. Adverse When you are vulnerable and opponents non-vulnerable. Also called "unfavourable vulnerability vulnerability." Agreement An understanding between partners as to the meaning of a particular bid or defensive play. Alert A method of informing the opponents that partner's bid carries a meaning that they might not expect; alerts are regulated by sponsoring organizations such as EBU, and by individual clubs or organisers of events. Any method of alerting may be authorised including saying "Alert", displaying an Alert card from a bidding box or 'knocking' on the table. Announcement An explanatory statement made by the partner of the player who has just made a bid that is based on a partnership understanding. The purpose of an announcement is similar to that of an Alert.

  • Journalist Leads
    Journalist Leads A method of opening leads advocated by the Bridge Journal, in 1964-1965. It is still in wide use today, sometimes called Jack Denies, 10 or 9 promises. Against no trump contracts: A usually from AKJX (XX) or AK10S (XX). Third hand is requested to unblock a high honor if he can afford it, otherwise to give a length signal (high with an even number, low with an odd number of cards in the suit. K from AK or KQ, (assuming a high honor should be led). Q from QJ (or KQ109; third hand is requested to play the jack, if he has it). J from J10. The lead of the jack denies a higher honor. 10 from A109, K109, Q109, AJ10, KJ10. The ten guarantees a higher honor, (queen, king or ace). 9 from 109. The nine pro mises the ten AND a higher honor. Second highest or highest from lower spot cards to discourage suit continuation. Usually lowest card from a long suit headed by one or two honors to encourage suit continuation. The purpose of these leads is to make it easier for third hand to know whether to continue the attack on the suit led, or to shift. The following hand shows what can happen when journalist leads are not used. Bidding had proceeded: North East South West 1C pass 1H pass 1S pass 3NT pass pass pass DUMMY AJ1063 5 74 AK1072 Partner to opening lead Q952 QJ104 A63 Q5 Using standard leads, West led the 10 of diamonds to East's ace, south playing the deuce.
