| DIRECTORS’ RULINGS |
The director should be called to resolve any issues or disputes arising from the bidding or play. Players must not allocate penalties themselves. Remember that calling the director should not be seen as an aggressive action but as a natural appeal to a referee, as in any sport.

| SLOW PLAY |
The problem of slow play continues and your directors try to be as fair as possible to all but sometimes it may lead to a board not being played and averaged. The following suggestions have been made to help speed up play:
- Don't wait to fill in your card before leading or putting down dummy.
- If you are running behind then don't wait and discuss your result. Just ensure that the score is entered correctly and move on.
