| Bridge Club Etiquette |
In order to help the TD run the tournaments efficiently and make the tournaments enjoyable for everyone it would help if everyone would observe the following reminders.
- Arrive Early : At least 10 minutes before the start time and 15 minutes if you don't have a partner.
- Greet the table: Introduce yourself and say "Hello"
- Handle Cards Neatly: Organise your cards and keep them close to your chest: Remember one peep is worth two finesses!
- Bid in Turn: Wait your turn, Avoid comments that could influence play. (This includes sighs and puffs)
- Keep the Game Moving: Play at a steady pace - don't hesitate when you've nothing to think about. This could be construed as "cheating"
- Call the TD: If there's an issue call the TD and wait for them to arrive - don't argue: the TD will make a ruling.
- Win Gracefully, Lose Gracefully! Always thank your opponents at the end of the round.
Some other reminders:
- Bridgemates: Enter the Board Number into the Bridgemate as soon as the Board is placed on the table; once the lead card is played enter the contract and lead and confirm out loud; eg 4S played by North. This helps ensure there are no mix ups.
- The "Alert" card should be placed on the table for a couple of seconds - not waved around like a flag!
- The "Stop" card should be placed on the table before the "Jump bid" and left there for approximately 10 seconds; then removed to allow the next player to bid.
- Play your lead card or put down your dummy before filling in your scorecard
- Listen to the TD announcements
- Be seated 10 minutes before the start time of the tournament
- Fill the empty spaces at tables rather than randomly picking any table.
- Shush! Pretend you're in a library and speak quietly!
- The "Sit Out" position remains East/West and players should toss a coin to determine the positions unless there is a medical reason for a pair to remain seated.
- No phones at the table please!
