Zero Tolerance Review, Part 1. |
Zero Tolerance Review, Part 1.
The AIDBC Board of Directors asked for frequent reminders that we will be enforcing Zero Tolerance behavior. Before we begin reviewing what Zero Tolerance policy is, let’s review the BRIDGE LAWS that relate to it.
LAW 74 CONDUCT AND ETIQUETTE
A. Proper Attitude
- A player should maintain a courteous attitude at all times.
- A player should carefully avoid any remark or extraneous action that might cause annoyance or embarrassment to another player or might interfere with the enjoyment of the game.
- Every player should follow uniform and correct procedure in calling and playing.
74A1 and 74A2 are clearly linked to zero Tolerance issues, we will review 74B and 74C in the next post. A courteous attitude is very broad-reaching, and while it’s easily understood, some confusion can arise. However, elevated voice, insulting your opponent (or the director (See LAW 74C), or being rude in general would be a violation of LAW 74A1.
Law 74.A2 is in the view of your opponents (and your partner) of what causes annoyance or embarrassment. What might not annoy you annoys one of your opponents to no end. For instance, some will be annoyed if you offer well done to your partner when the opponent’s truly horrible defense gives him 4 undeserved tricks. This is a common complaint in online games. Who would have thought? If you are serving as a mentor of your partner, your opponents might find it annoying that you point out in real time after the hand what your partner did wrong in the bidding or play. Perhaps clearer if you say to your partner something like after a board played at your table; “That will be a good board for us, they missed an easy slam to bid.”
