Any Time Your RHO Makes a Skip Bid: 

• DO NOT BID RIGHT AWAY!!! 
• Take a deep  breath,
• Think... about what you are going to bid with your bidworthy hand, OR think about how crappy your lousy hand is,
• Then... either bid, or pass.

Arrive Early Please: In order to start each game on time please make sure that at least one member of your partnership/team arrives at least 15 minutes before the start of the game. Thank you.
