| Convention Cards |
When playing Duplicate you and your partner should have convention cards with you and make them available to your opponents. This helps to avoid disputes and misunderstandings. If called upon for a ruling, the director may be obliged to rule against you if your system is in doubt.
In the absence of a convention card you will be expected to use simple systems.

| Best Behaviour at Bridge |
In August 2006 the EBU published a code of conduct called Best Behaviour at Bridge. To a large extent this just reiterated what we already expected of our partners and opponents but it is useful to have this set out in a code. For further information please click here.
As a club we will not accept players who fail to show courtesy and respect to their partner, opponents and the club officials. Players who continually ignore this rule risk being asked not to play at the club.
