The Northern Neck DBC is offering a 10-week course intended for people who have played bridge in the past, but would like to “knock the rust off” and for those students who have completed the Beginner’s class.

We will “Polish” your basics: hand evaluation, review and refine bidding and fundamental card play techniques (counting winners and losers, finessing, developing tricks through promotion and length, discarding losers, ruffing in the short trump hand and cross-ruffing).

Once we have improved your skills in playing a contact, we will look at the rules of play for defense (in theory at least, you defend as often as you declare). We will look at how to lead, signal, and discard.

Each lesson will be 2-hours approximately divided between 1) lecture and class exercises 2) play of four (approximately) deals designed to utilize the ideas presented in the lecture and exercises.

Dates:

Every Tuesday starting on January 24^th and ending March 28^th

10 am - noon

LOCATION

All classes will be held at the Woman’s Club of White Stone, 560 Chesapeake Dr. White Stone

Duplicate bridge or Party Bridge? We teach Contract bridge.

In both duplicate and party bridge, you shuffle and deal the cards, conduct the bidding auction to determine a final contract and a declarer, play the cards and score the result. The main differences between the two forms of the game are the environment and the scoring method. Whichever version you would like to play, the classes are designed to get you started on a firm foundation or improve your game.
