ACBL released a new convention card in 2022, that is a more relevant convention card reflecting todays game. Bridge has evolved  with various changes including new conventions and alert procedures.

While the new card looks familiar, here are some examples of the changes:

• seldom used conventions were removed and commonly used conventions were added
• recent changes in alerts and announcements are reflected
• the 1 club and 1 diamond open bid sections were expanded, providing more room to address different minor suit openings
• the right side of the convention card was reorganized with bids showing in ascending order

Articles explaining the changes and the proper way to complete the card will appear in the ACBL Bulletin starting with the March 2022 issue. Additional information will be posted to the ACBL website and to other bridge related forums.

The new card can be downloaded here: New Convention Card 2022

During the transition period either card will be acceptable. A member update will be provided when ACBL formally launches the new card.
