Rugby
Bridge Club welcomes Bridge players of all standards. We operate duplicate
sessions, teach newcomers and improvers and organise five sessions per week at
different venues. If you have played Rubber Bridge we can give you a short
conversion course and you will be playing Duplicate in no time. We have our own
monthly tournament alternating between pairs and team events. Many of our
members join teams and play in the Rugby and District Bridge League and there
are opportunities to represent the Club in higher level competition.

CONDUCT AND BEHAVIOUR
Best Behaviour at Bridge is a set of guidelines that we have adopted from America
-
Greet others in a friendly manner prior to start of play on each round.
-
Be a good "host" or "guest" at the table.
-
Make bridge enjoyable for yourself, partner and opponents.
-
Give credit when your opponents make a good bid or play.
-
Take care of your personal grooming.
-
Ensure that your mobile phone is turned off.
-
Enjoy the company as well as the game
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.
|
Please inform the Director if you think you may have been affected by bad behaviour, you will be helping others as well as yourselves. |
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
