Each session at Oxford Bridge Club varies in the style and standard of play. A guidance leaflet is available so that a player can consider which session may be most suitable for them. Click for a page with further detail.

All players are expected to be familiar with the principle of Best Behaviour at Bridge and to observe them all the time. 

Partnerships are expected to have convention cards and to be familiar with the rules for bidding and for alerts and announcements. The intention is to avoid mishaps at the table which might give an unfair advantage to one side or the other.  However in the event of any mishap or irregularity, the Director must be called so that any problem is resolved fairly.

The document on etiquette describes the orderly conduct at the table which enhances everyone’s enjoyment and allows the Director to maintain a regular rhythm of play through the session (generally 2 boards every 15 minutes).  If there is any mishap at the table then the Director should be called - see the section entitled “During Play” in the Playing Guidelines.
 

The OBC Playing Guidelines summarise the main expectations for a Master Pointed session at the club.  The Director is responsible for implementing these guidelines and for the smooth running of the session.  Players should be familiar with this document and with the information about etiquette referenced below.  Familiarity with procedures at the table helps everyone keep to time.
