CONVENTIONS At the committee meeting on 30th March 2008 a decision was taken to restrict the Conventions used in Rugby Bridge Club's events to Level 3. What this means can be found in the ebu's Orange Book: http://www.ebu.co.uk/lawsandethics/articles/orangebook/default.htm View the Latest Averages under Tuesday Summary New Season starts 5th January 2010
County Bridge There is Bridge beyond Rugby and through Rugby Bridge Club you can go on to represent the Club in County Events. See our new County Bridge Page.
CONDUCT AND BEHAVIOUR The EBU are promoting a guide to courteous behaviour, which they see as an exceptionally important part of the enjoyment of the game of bridge. The EBU are promoting this as Best Behaviour at Bridge or the: BB@B code
Remember that it is rude to criticise your partner or opponents in public, to be less than polite at the table, to gloat over good results or object to a call for the tournament director or to dispute or argue about a director’s ruling.
As in all games that are governed by rules and regulations, bad behaviour will be penalised. If a player at the table behaves in an unacceptable manner, the director should be called immediately. Annoying behaviour, embarrassing remarks, or any other conduct which might interfere with the enjoyment of the game is specifically prohibited by Law 74A. Law 91A gives the director the authority to assess disciplinary penalties. This can include immediate disciplinary board penalties, and if a future violation is incurred at the same event, disqualification from future competition in that event. Any further violations may result in a disciplinary hearing where a player's future participation in tournaments will be considered
PLAYER RANKINGS. The EBU run a ranking
system based on the accumulation of Master Points. Alan Webb runs the
computer system that sends off the points from our Tuesday Night Sessions.
The Master Point System and the type and numbers of points needed can
be found at
