 ZERO TOLERANCE
The Committee has agreed to introduce a policy of “ZERO TOLERANCE” for County events.
The purpose is to ensure more enjoyment, more fun and less aggravation.
What constitutes unacceptable behaviour?
- Abusive comments concerning opponents’ or partner’s play or bidding
2) Gloating over good results
3) Discussing hands at the table after the round is called
4) Objecting to a call for a Director, abusing a Director or disputing a Director’s ruling during a game (correct procedure is to appeal the ruling).
5) Poor personal hygiene, grooming or dress or over-indulgence in alcohol.
The system will work as follows:
Prior to the commencement of the event, the Director will announce that the event is being played under “Zero Tolerance”. Additionally, a page outlining the above would be put on each table.
If you find your enjoyment of the game reduced by someone at your or a neighbouring table, you may call the Director. Anyone found reducing others’ enjoyment by the above behaviour may/will be fined part of their score (˝ a top) for a first offence and may be asked to leave for a second offence.
Should a player, for any reason, wish to make a report later and not draw attention to an incident at the time, forms will be available for the purpose.
