  • “It's Only a Game”
    “It’s only a game” BRIDGE BEHAVIOUR and MISBEHAVIOUR A Welsh Bridge Union Guide Bridge Behaviour INTRODUCTION A recurring complaint in bridge is that enjoyment of the game can be compromised by the poor behaviour of a minority of players.1 The WBU Management Committee therefore set up a working party to look at these issues. This policy is based on their report, revised in the light of comments received following publication on the WBU website as a consultation document. The policy considers what should be expected of players and what could be done to im prove behaviour at the table. It distinguishes between two aspects of behaviour at the bridge table: a) Compliance with the Laws governing the ga me itself, including the m echanics of play, correction of mistakes and deterring, or redress in the event of, unauthorised information; b) Conduct and etiquette (Law 74). The importance which a player attaches to these two aspects of behaviour will depend partly on his or her own tem perament and partly on the level at which he or she is playing. W hile it is not universally true, it tends to be the case that the higher the level of the com petition, the m ore concerned a player is with a) and the less with b) . Conversely, players in clubs with a very social ethos tend to be concerned m ore with pleasan tness and enjoym ent, and less with stringent enforcement of the (other) rules. There is, however, no intrinsic conflict between the two aspects of behaviour. Experienced players can explain politely to their opponents why they are calling the Director; tournam ent novices can accept that a m istake which would have gone unpunished in their local clubs m ust necessarily be rectified ( by the Director) at a national final or a green-poi nted congress, where m ore than a pleasant evening out or a few local points is at stake.

  • Laws of Bridge Bridge Is a Game of Cards in Which Two Sides Compete
    Laws of Bridge Bridge is a game of cards in which two sides compete for advantage. As with any competition, enjoyment of the game stems from the application of ethics and the adherence to rules. The vast majority of those who play bridge consider it is better to play and lose than to win at any cost. This section provides advice, comments on the Laws of Duplicate Bridge and links to web sites that offer more in depth information and discussion. Law 74 starts with two assertions: - A player should maintain a courteous attitude at all times - A player should carefully avoid any remark or action that might cause annoyance or embarrassment to another player or might interfere with the enjoyment of the game. These two assertions govern the way bridge is played at West Coast Bridge Club. The Auction The Bidding Box The Bidding Box was introduced to reduce bidding errors and to diminish opportunites for adding ‘emphasis’ to any call. So: make sure it is your turn to call; always look at the LHS call (if there is one) before you bid; do not fiddle with the box while thinking about a call; place bidding cards on the table gently; and do not look at partner while placing bidding cards on the table. If you think there has been an irregularity in the auction, do not fix it at the table, call the Director. Alerts Bidding provides information both to your partner and the opponents. If a call contains information that your opponents might not understand, your partner must bring this to the attention of your opponents using the Alert Card.

  • 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.

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.
