Welcome to the Leland Duplicate Bridge Club. We strive to make our games very friendly and newcomers to duplicate are always welcome. Our games start on time, use a clock, have the moves called, utilize Bridgemates, provide a partner for walk-ins, and generally have a non-playing director. Our club takes maximum advantage of the many special games permitted by the ACBL. We are a Zero Tolerance club. This website is generally updated with game results and hand records within an hour of each game. Our web address is www.lelandbridge.com.  

The ABCL has developed many rules, regulations, and guidelines to make sure the proprieties of the game are followed and fair to all participants. For previously presented topics shown here, please see the menu button Common Bridge Improprieties. Rules pertaining to the opening lead are listed below. 

Opening Lead:

1. As Opening leader, you may ask any question you wish and then place your opening lead face down on the table. 
2. Then you should ask partner “Any questions?” If no questions, or after they have been answered, then turn your opening lead up on the table.
3. As Opening leader, do not attempt to change your opening lead after you have placed it on the table.
4. As dummy or declarer, you must advise opponents of a failure to alert or explain that an incorrect explanation was given during the auction. This must be done before the opening lead is selected.
5. As an Intermediate or advanced player, be sure your opening lead and carding agreements are marked on your convention card.
