Contact Nancy or Bette by email for additional information. New Years Resolutions For Bridge Players It's the time of year to make those New Year's resolutions, and we have some suggestions for bridge players that will be much easier to keep than those "losing weight" and "getting in shape" resolutions. If we all make the effort, the bridge playing experience will be a positive one for every player. 2020 Resolutions I will remember the Golden Rule and treat my partner, opponents and the director in a courteous manner---exactly as I would want to be treated! I will arrive on time----at least 10-15 minutes before the game I will turn my cell phone off before the game begins I will welcome new players and introduce myself and my partner My partner and I will each have a completed convention card at the table; I realize that the convention card is for the benefit of our opponents so I will not refer to it during the auction or play Before looking at my cards, I will count them and be sure that I have 13 cards! I will not touch the bidding box until I am ready to make a bid When bidding, I will do so in tempo as I realize long pauses may give my partner unauthorized information When making an initial lead, I will be sure to place my card face down until it is accepted by my partner----this will avoid those leads out of turn! I will not snap my cards At the end of play, I will not mix up my cards until everyone agrees on the result If I am a North player, I will pass my boards by the end of the round or pass completed boards if we are behind If I make a claim, I will do so by clearly explaining my line of play. If I do not do so, I understand that my opponents should not ask me to show my line of play rather call the director I will refrain from making my own rulings at the table! I will call the director for any irregularity. I realize the director is there to make the game fair and equitable I will complete each round in the allotted time as I understand that duplicate bridge is a timed event, that slow play is a violation of bridge law subject to penalty and that these penalties are well deserved when slow pairs disrupt the normal progression of the game I will always wait until the end of the game (not the board or the round) for postmortems FINAL RESOLUTION: I resolve to have fun and promote this great game of bridge to anyone and everyone!
