| UNDO POLICY |
 The club allows undo requests for genuine bidding mistakes made as a result of a mechanical error, not a lapse of concentration or forgetfulness, and only when the request is made prior to their partner's bid at the latest. We do not allow undos for playing.
Any awkward exchanges should be referred to the director.
Members are reminded that you can change your settings to ensure you double click to make a bid.
