The following was issued by the Mid-Leinster Region of the CBAI.
Do’s and Don’ts at Bridge
- A player may not correct partner’s mistaken explanation of a bid or signal.
- If partner hesitates before calling, a player must show that the action now chosen could not have been influenced by the hesitation.
- Your opponents are entitled to know of any partnership agreement you may have.
- A player may only ask for an explanation when it is their turn to call.
- Lead face down, but turn the card over before dummy is shown.
- Check your tricks. Agree score. Have contract and result entered before spoiling your won/lost cards.
- Do not accept the decision of opponents if a ruling is required. The T.D. is responsible for all rulings.
- Players have a duty to ascertain how opponents communicate:
Basic system – Acol or Precision or . . .
Variations – strength of NT, 4 or 5 card majors, etc.
Other – discards, leads, signals, etc.
- Bids above 3NT should not be alerted unless they occur on the first round of bidding.
- Defenders may ask one another about possible revokes.
