Grantham Bridge Club Policy on UNDOs when Playing Online

As an EBU affiliated Club, Grantham Bridge Club follows the EBU policy on UNDOs for online play as expressed in the EBU Player Handbook (The Blue Book), dated 1st August 2024.  In short:

  • Requests for UNDOs during the auction, where the request is made following a genuine mis-click or mis-tap, may be allowed provided that the partner of the player requesting the UNDO has not called.  UNDOs should not be requested after a change of mind and the Director should be called in the event of any doubt1.  After a player has requested an UNDO, no player should make a further call (i.e. bid, double, redouble or pass) until the UNDO has been accepted or refused.
  • Requests for UNDOs during the play will not be allowed for any reason except when authorised by the Director after a play has been influenced by misinformation.
  • Players wishing to reduce the chance of a mis-click or mis-tap occurring should adjust the settings on the platform to require a double click or double tap to confirm calls and plays. 

1  On BBO, Club Policy is that all UNDO requests during the auction should be accepted provided that the UNDO is requested straight away and before Partner has called.  However, if a player requesting an UNDO subsequently replaces a bid with a PASS, DOUBLE or REDOUBLE, that is suggestive of a change of mind and the Director should be called.

RealBridge
