Convention Cards

A reminder from Ann McMahon, the Chief Director: If you are playing anything but very basic ACOL you and your partner both require the same printed convention card available for perusal by your opponents. The easiest way to achieve this is to download a card from the EBU by clicking  HERE  You can then modify it to your own system. If you are unable to download one for any reason there are also now some blank convention cards in the cupboard in the playing room.

SHOWING CARDS AND TOUCHING THE CARDS


Showing a card

Should you make to play a card and it becomes visible to your opponents it is counted as being played. 


Accidentally dropping a card

This does not include accidentally dropping a card on the floor or on your lap.  Should that happen when you are declarer you may replace the card in your hand. If you are defending it is an "exposed" card and should be left face up on the table and played at the first opportunity when it would be a legal to play - even if it does not suit you.

 

Touching cards

When playing from dummy, if you touch a card with the intention of playing it is deemed to have been played and you may not change your mind. You are allowed to push cards or move to get to the card you wish to play, but it is best to say you are doing this. The best guidance is to decide which card you intend to play, both from hand and dummy, and only then touch that card.
