Our Restricted Systems sessions are on Tuesday morning, Wednesday evening and Friday morning and evening. These sessions all run the same restrictions regarding bidding. This is to give beginners and less experienced players, the opportunity to ease their way into duplicate bridge without having to cope with the myriad of different systems that they might encounter at an open systems session.

Labelling these evenings as Level 2 or 3 has not proved satisfactory and the Bridge and Ethics committee has, therefore, produced a list of permitted agreements which can be used. This restricted bidding system is based on the system defined in the EBU Orange Book as Level 2, with a few variations. The detail of it can be seen by clicking here.

All players of all standards are welcome at all these sessions, but the list of permitted agreements must be adhered to. Players are also asked not to psyche and calls for the Director should be kept to a minimum.

These rules will not apply on SIMS nights.
