THINGS ARE CHANGING…STUFF FROM ACBL

Please click on this link to see the changes to Alerts and Announcements and become familiar with them. We realize there will be a learning curve and will give some allowances to the proper procedure until March 1. Red Alert – BridgeFeed (acbl.org)

Also, on page 35 of your January ACBL Bulletin you will find a complete listing of the changes.

AND AS ALWAYS and it SAVES TIME

When asked what your bid means, please be courteous and don’t give the name of the convention! (i.e. Cappelletti, DON’T, Precision, etc.) Instead, you must describe your hand. There are NO secrets in the bidding!
All partnerships should have a completed CC and answer questions in a timely manner when an inquiry is made. If you are a pickup partner, you must announce your agreed system at the beginning of each round.
No Alert and not on the opponent's CC? Assume it is natural! Not everyone plays conventions. If you want to bid and you suspect it is a convention, ask the person who made the bid by chatting privately with them. BUT if you are not going to bid, then don't ask until the auction is over. Then ask if it will help you make a lead. If the opponents are not answering, call a director. Do not waste time having an endless conversation with the opponents.
Please refrain from checking the board results until you are finished with the round. Often things have gone to a snails pace for some who like looking at the first board they play instead of moving on to the next board.
And last but not least, save your communication with your partner about bidding, play, what they are going to eat (seeing if you are still reading) until the round is over. Then if you want to discuss a board, please have a private conversation rather than a table conversation.

CONVENTION CARDS

ACBL is cracking down on the lack of convention cards. Below are three different online tutorials on how to fill out and save a CC with your favorite partner and also a favorite card you can fill out to use with new partnerships. If you are playing with someone new and don't have time to type in your cc, than you must announce your basic system at the start of each round. Hint: You only need to type it once and then cut and paste for the remainder of the rounds. But please make every attempt to fill out a CC. You can fill out a cc quickly by going to your account, click on cc and find a favorite card and select the cc. You will see an option that states "use with". Type in the BBO id of your partner and save.

HAVE YOU THANKED YOUR DIRECTOR and BOD?

♥ Remember to thank your Directors when you are playing in a game. They are volunteering their time (and not playing) to bring the Virtual Games to you. Without them, we would not be able to hold our games!

♥ Your BOD is working hard for you. Are you playing bridge with us or do you know someone who has been MIA? Please contact one of your Board Members and let us know how we can help. Some of us are willing to come over and help you get online if that’s all it will take to get you back to the game we all love!

GUEST POLICY

The guest policy has changed and I am trying to keep up with the changes and keep our game within the parameters of ACBL policy. Guest must register with the manager before the game they wish to play.

· You may play with a guest.

· Two players may now play together as guests.

· The total number of guests are subject to a 15% total cap per week. If we are close to going over the 15% allowance, the manager reserves the right to refuse a guest for any game.

· Guest play is subject to manager approval and spots will first be given to a member playing with a guest.

· As always, I try to accommodate players and get them in the game but there are no guarantees for last minute requests. It is much easier to give a day notice to accommodate guests. Please email the studio @ dentonbridgestudio@gmail.com

We look forward to seeing you online and thank you for your continued support!
