Helpful Hints for Players

 

Scoring Travellers or Bridgemates

In order to speed up the game, players are asked to score the traveller as soon as the hand is played and then go on to the next hand without too much discussion or analysis. If all boards in the round are completed ahead of other players, they can be reviewed afterwards, or even at the end of the evening/afternoon session.

North should always complete the traveller first, and pass it to East to check, before filling in their own score card. EAST must check not only that the score entered is correct but also that the score is entered in the correct column, and that the pair numbers are correct. The Director may penalise pairs where this information is entered incorrectly.

Rule Infringements

As a general rule the Director must be called if infringements occur.

Typically these infringements are:

  • Lead out of turn

  • Bid out of turn

  • Revoke

  • Insufficient bid

It is important to let the Director advise rather than other players at the table, as this may give an unfair advantage to the non-offending side.

Director Removed Boards

It is sometimes necessary for the Director to ask players to forfeit the playing of a board, normally because of ‘slow play’ at that, or another/ previous table.

Directors will always try to avoid this, especially as some players may still be learning, and some boards need extra thought in order for the contract to be made. 

However the needs of the majority must be considered, and if a table is still bidding their last hand, it is not fair for the rest of the players (often 20+ others)) to be kept waiting for another 5-10 mins.

Players will not necessarily be disadvantaged if the board is not played, as it will be removed from the scoring, rather than averaged.

The Director is there to help and not penalise, so please use him and accept his decision with good grace

Keep the play friendly!!
