| Displaying results |
The last of the current debates centres on the use of BridgePads. We shall shortly have these in use every Monday.
Many of us-certainly my partner and I-feel that the display of results as they are entered is the logical extension of the system. We believe that this lends an extra dimension of excitement to proceedings.
What do you feel?

| Law 7 |
On Monday we had a fouled board-cards had been returned to the wrong compass position in the board.
The use of duplimated boards places an extra responsibility on each of us to ensure we do not misboard a hand.
Law 7 reads: Placement of Board-When a board is to be played it is placed in the centre of the table until play is completed. (The Laws of Duplicate Bridge 2007)
The 2008 Simplified Edition adds: Some clubs allow the board to be removed from the table. This is undesirable, leads to misboarding and deprives players of their right to see the Dealer and Vulnerability.
The biggest danger of moving a board lies in rotating it. I believe it to be most important to leave the board in the centre of the table even on the narrow tables at LBCC. Perhaps we could all try to be a little more careful in this regard.
