| Psyche Bidding, System Card |
Psychic bid (also psych) is a bid in bridge that grossly misstates the power and/or suit lengths of one's hand. It is used deliberately to deceive the opponents. Normally, the psychic bid is made with a weak hand, overstating its overall strength, the length and strength in a particular suit, or both.
It is considered unsportsmanlike for stronger players to psych against inexperienced or weak players and Bairnsdale Bridge Club strongly discourages psych bidding at any of their sessions. We would like to remind all players to have their system card available at the table. Please call the director and report any psych bidding.

| Number of boards on Fridays |
It is up to the director to decide on Fridays which movement and how many boards are played.
When playing a "standard" Mitchell movement the boards played are:
7 tables: 35 boards
8 tables: 32 boards with share and relay
9 tables: 36 boards/9 rounds or 32 boards/8 rounds
10 tables: 30 boards with share and relay
11 tables: 33 boards
extra 1/2 tables are rounded up. e.g.. a 7 1/2 table is set up as a 8 table with a sitout.
To play a different number of boards the movement has to be set up more "non standard", e.g. with a rover or a skip. Directors will have their preferences and we ask you to respect their choice.
