Welcome to the website of South Mansfield & Blidworth Bridge Club!
With effect from 1st September 2022, the EBU has revised its rules on alerts and announcements. Most of the new announcements that have to be made, affect those who play transfers after a 1C opening, or play 2 over 1 (the system that robots play on BridgeBaseOnline). One interesting change is that you no longer announce the point range after opening a strong, balanced 2NT. So, for most of us, there’s not much of concern.
Remember, when it’s your turn to bid, if you need to know you can always ask your opponent what their partner’s bid means. There is still no requirement to alert/announce the meaning of a jump overcall. Although the modern way is to play it as weak, we still have members who play it strong.
This can catch you out, so we suggest you always check.
A summary of the new rules is on the club noticeboard. Click here to access the information on line.
We would ask players to try to take their places 10-15mins before 7.00pm to allow time for the organisers to set out the correct table movement. If you are aware that you are going to be delayed please contact the club to let them know you are on your way.
