Bridge club director and teacher Bill Segraves will provide a 1 hour hands-on introduction to duplicate bridge for players who already know how to play but have not played duplicate. Duplicate bridge, in which scoring is based on comparison of results attained by other players who held the same cards, means success comes from what you do with whatever cards you are dealt, and is the form of scoring typically played in bridge clubs and bridge tournaments. It is also very well suited to small social games and home team games and to learning through (and laughing about) the comparisons. Participants will play two deals and see how they are scored using duplicate scoring. After the session, participants will be ready to play in a club game or to set up their own home or small group duplicate.
