Zero Tolerance Policy
Be cool! Bridge is fun.
In accord with the ACBL, the following abreviated policy outlines what is expected of all players during NABCs and other ACBL sponsored events, as well as in the playing area before and after each session.
The ultimate purposeof this policy is to create a much more pleasant atmosphere. The goal is to eradicate unacceptable behavior in order to make the game of bridge more enjoyable for all. Below are some examples of commendable behavior, which, while not required, will significantly contribute to the improved atmosphere:
- Being a good 'host' or 'guest' at the table.
- Greeting others in a friendly manner.
- Praising the bidding and/or play of the opponents
- Having completed convention cards readily available to the opponents
The following are some examples of behavior which will not be tolerated:
- Badgering, rudeness, insinuations, intimidation, profanity, threats, or violence.
- Negative comments concerning opponents' or partner's play or bidding.
- Constant and gratuitous lessons and analyses at the table.
- Loud and disruptive arguing with a director's ruling.
If a player at the table behaves in an unacceptable manner, the director should be called immediately.
For more specifics, please refer to the ACBL.org website.
Let's all act responsibly to ensure we all play nice!!!
