♦ 2/1 Game Forcing System, Wednesdays, 10:00 a.m. - Noon, June 10, 12, and 14
3 classes - $80 (includes text) Sally Sassen, Instructor
The 2/1 Game Forcing system is a popular variation of Standard American bridge. By agreeing to a game level early in the auction, it allows exploration of the best fit, and identifies slam potential earlier. Even if you don’t play the system, many people use it so it is a good idea to understand it.
♣ Convention Cards, Duplicate Rules and Etiquette, Saturday, 10:00 a.m. - Noon, May 18
1 class - $20 Sally Sassen, Instructor
Designed for beginning duplicate players, we will cover completing Standard American and general convention cards, which should be filled out by each person at the table. We will also cover etiquette regarding duplicate games - using the bidding box, playing cards, keeping the game moving, what dummy can and can’t do, etc. Finally, we will discuss duplicate rules, common mistakes and director calls.
