| Calling the Director |
Director Please!
When your opponent makes a Claim
If a claim for ‘x’ tricks is made at your table, please try and follow these steps
The claimant should:
- State the number of tricks being claimed and how they will be playing the remaining cards to achieve that
- Only claim when the line of play outlined will be simple for the opponents to follow
- Avoid making a claim where there are trumps remaining or finesses to take!
- Not hurry the opponents, instead allowing them plenty of time to evaluate the claim
The opponents should:
- Make a mental note of the exact explanation given by the claimant
- Keep their cards hidden until they have had time to review the claimant’s cards and the line of play outlined
- Accept only if they are satisfied that the claim is correct
- Call the Director straight away if any concerns exist.
- Not ask the claimant simply to play on as this forfeits the chance to call the Director afterwards.

| What are Master Points and the Ranking System? |
Master Points(MP) and the Ranking system
After each Monday session the results for the evening are uploaded to the EBU.
The EBU allocates MPs to each player in the top ranks for that evening
depending on the number of tables in play.
For example, on Monday 3rd Sept. there were 8 tables so MPs were awarded
to the top three pairs for both N/S and E/W.
The ranks start with:
Local Master 100 MPs
Club Master 200 MPs
Area Master 500 MPs
District Master 1000 MPs
County Master 2500 MPs
Master 5000 MPs
and then upward
