Announcing & Alerting

Please make sure you are aware of these requirements. They apply to everyone!

Note:Some action must be taken after every opening 2 level bid. Also the 1C bid, if it does not guarantee 3 clubs, must be properly described. Saying 'variable' or similar is not acceptable. All bids under 3NT that do not show the suit bid must be alterted.

General Information

The guidance document for Club players has been amended. Click here for more details.

Director's Flowcharts

Want to know what happens after an insufficient bid or a pass out of rotation? Click here for the latest EBU guidance.

Incidentally these have been slightly modified under the new (2017) rules. If you pass out of turn you may now bid, when it is your turn to do so, as long as the bid could not have been an opening bid (e.g. 1H 2H or 1H 1NT are acceptable but 1H 1S is not.)

Site Info

A couple of tips.

If you want to know what has changed without having to trawl through all of it, the pages with any recent updates are listed in a box on the left of the Home Page.
This site is mobile friendly, so if you can't wait to get home and check out the results on a computer, you can see the whole site on your phone or tablet browser. It should display properly, but if it doesn't, click 'Switch to Mobile' on the left hand side of the Home Page. Incidentally there are (paid) IOS and Android apps available for Bridgewebs. They are handy if you just want to review the results and hands.
