Welcome to the Zenon Bridge Club located in Larnaca, Cyprus.  You will find us at Meropis 14, 6058, Larnaca. Behind the Radisson Hotel near Larnaca Port.  We are members of the Cyprus Bridge Federation and the Cyprus Sports Association, KOA, allowing our members to compete in all national competitions.  Zenon Club's players come together on Monday at 6.00pm and Tuesday afternoons at 2:00pm for duplicate bridge; Zenon welcomes all levels of players to join us whether living here or on holiday.  Just contact us in advance on 99446896

We also hold summer weekend bridge retreats in the mountains, bridge cruises in the Mediterranean, and an annual Christmas party for members and guests.  We are committed to promoting bridge by offering bridge lessons on Tuesday evenings after duplicate, and encourage middle and high schools to offer their students a chance to learn bridge as an extracurricular activity, sponsored by the Zenon Bridge Club.

For people interested in learning how to play, lessons for absolute beginners to intermediate level are conducted on Tuesdays at 6pm.

2. making gratuitous comments during the auction and play.

4. commenting or acting during the auction or play so as to call attention to a significant occurrence, or to the number of tricks still required for success.

LAW 90: PROCEDURAL PENALTIES
A. Director's Authorities
The Director, in addition to implementing the rectifications in these Laws, may also assess procedural penalities for any offence that unduly delays or obstructs the game, inconveniences other contestants, violates correct procedure, or requires the award of an adjusted score at another table.

The following are examples of offences subject to procedural penalty (but the offences are not limited to these):
1. arrival of a contestant after the specified starting time.
2. unduly slow play by a contestant.

LAW 91: DISCIPLINARY PENALTIES
Players are required by the laws to be coureous.  If a player is rude or offensive, whether to parnter, opponents, the director or anyone else present, or uses bad language, or acts in a drunken fashion, or any other similar way, the director can issue a DISCIPLINARY PENALTY.  Normally this would be a fine of 20% of the top on a board or more.  Further similar actions would lead to suspension and the club committee might consider further action.

DIRECTOR'S POWERS
In performing his dutry to maintain order and discipline, the Director is empowered to assess disciplinary penalities in points or to suspend a contestant for the current session or any part thereof.  The Director's decision under this clause is final and may not be overruled by an appeals committee (see Law 93B3).
