Best Behaviour at Bridge.

(Modified from EBU Guidelines).

We would ask all Hampton bridge players to behave in an appropriate manner at the bridge table, as outlined below.

Ø Greet others in a friendly manner prior to start of play on each round.

Ø Be a good “host” or “guest” at the table.

Ø Make bridge enjoyable for yourself, partner and opponents.

Ø Give credit when opponents make a good bid or play.

Ø Do not criticise your partner or opponents in public

Ø Do not gloat over good results.

Ø Do not object to a call for the club director or argue about a director’s ruling.

Bad behaviour will be penalised.

If a player at the table behaves in an unacceptable manner, the Director should be called immediately.

Under these circumstances, the Director has the authority to apply disciplinary penalties on a board.

Please call the Director if you think you have been affected by bad behaviour.

You will be helping others as well as yourselves.
