| DUPLICATE BRIDGE ETIQUETTE |
|
MANNERS ARE IMPORTANT
♥Acknowledge your opponents at the beginning of the round and smile!
♥Compliment your opponents/partner on the play or bidding of hands.
♥When a hand is over, be gracious. Please don’t view the Bridgepad and boast or lament about where you are in the standings on that board.
♥When calling a director, remember to say "director please" and "thank-you".
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE
♥Move to your new table assignment when the director calls the round over.
♥Use your extra time at the end of the hand to take a break or visit.
♥Once the auction is complete, make your opening lead and table the dummy before you write the contract in your private score.
THINK BEFORE YOU TOUCH and KEEP the TEMPO
♥During the auction, use your time wisely. Preplan your bid and then choose the bid from the box. Don’t let your fingers do your thinking!
♥If a stop card was used, or a jump bid has occurred, the next bidder has an extra 10 seconds to think about their next bid.
SILENCE IS GOLDEN
♥Conversation stops when you remove your hand from the board.
♥Wait to discuss the current boards until the end of the round.
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE CURRENT ROUND…STAYS IN THE CURRENT ROUND
♥Announce contracts quietly.
♥Announce tricks taken/score quietly.
♥If you choose to do so, quietly discuss a hand from the current round once all boards have been played and it is not time to move.
♥Refrain from discussion between hands.
♥Hands from previous rounds should never be discussed in front of the new opponents.
♥Refrain from asking other teams if they have played a board.
BUT MOST OF ALL HAVE FUN PLAYING THE BEST
SOCIALLY COMPETITIVE,
BRAIN EXERCISING,
PARTNERSHIP DEPENDANT
GAME IN THE WORLD!
