| The Laws of Duplicate Bridge 2017 |
 The laws attempt to prescribe what should happen in every conceivable scenario and the result is not easy reading. Should you wish we do have a reference copy of the laws available at the club or you can download a copy in portable document format (pdf) from the EBU website by clicking on this link
Alternatively you can find various summaries and commentaries on the internet which are somewhat lighter reading.
The laws were updated in 2017 with the new version applying from 1st August 2017.

It includes regulations about permitted systems, agreeements and understandings and their disclosure through alerts, announcements and convention cards in both bidding and play. It has been updated to reflect the 2017 changes to the Laws.
