  2. Monday Morning Club, please be seated by 9:50am.
  3. Mobile phones should be placed on 'silent' before play begins.
  4. Full names i.e. first name and surname are to be clearly written on the list of players every night.
  5. Inform your Opponents of your System & Conventions. i.e. 4 Card Major & Weak NT, etc.

During and After Play

  1. Players should, at all times, be courteous to their playing partner, their opponents and the Tournament Director/Acting T.D.
  2. Players should count cards before and after play & a quick shuffle before placing cards back into board.
  3. Bidding cards should be left on the table until the first card is played.
  4. The bidding process should be flat and unemphatic…NO talking/commenting/gesturing or pausing for an unduly long time.
  5. The player at North is in charge of the table and is responsible for ensuring,
    1. that wallets/boards are received from and passed to the correct tables,
    2. that players take the correct cards from the wallet or board at the start of play,
    3. that players return cards to the correct positions in the wallet or board at the end of play and DO NOT take them out again,
    4. that contracts are entered accurately on the tablet.
    5. count your tricks & agree score with opponents before gathering your cards.

  3. Dummy can warn partner of a possible renege during play by saying “Not holding partner”.
  4. During play, the lead player can only look back at the last card played.
  5. Always be humble in victory and gracious in defeat. Post mortems are to be avoided whilst play is going on at other tables.

  7. Any contravention of rules or disputes arising during the course of play should be referred to the Tournament Director / Acting T.D. for adjudication.
