A note from the Director....
Realbridge and Bridge etiquette
Realbridge has been a fantastic opportunity for us all to get everyone playing together and to be able to play bridge from the comfort of our own homes. I think people sometimes forget everyone can see and hear what you are doing and so can we please not do anything we wouldn’t do in the F2F club session;
• Having the radio or TV on
• Taking a phone call
• Holding a conversation with someone in your household
• Eating your tea or a bag of crisps!
Smoking!!!
• Filing your nails!
If you are going to do something that makes a noise then please mute yourself first.
The Realbridge experience is vastly improved and more inclusive if everyone uses their camera and microphone. If you are not currently able to do this, could we strongly suggest that you look into possible options. Please call me if you need any help with this.
Could you also please remember and consider the following;
Some of the players are:
• Not very confident technically and may be a bit slower than others
• Fairly new to Realbridge and still learning what to press / not to press!
• Very new to duplicate bridge and may not understand bridge etiquette
If someone alerts a bid then you are allowed to ask what it means BUT only if and when it is your turn to bid. If someone mistakeably asks what a bid means when it is not their turn to bid don’t just say “you’re not allowed to ask” explain to them why and when and whom they are allowed to ask.
If someone forgets to announce or alert when they should of done - don’t “tell them off” just explain ‘nicely’ to them that they should have done so.
Please be patient and tolerant and be nice to each other so everyone can enjoy
