Alerts and Announcements

With effect from 1st September 2022, the EBU has revised its rules on alerts and announcements.
Most of the new announcements that have to be made affect those who play transfers after a 1C opening, or play 2 over 1 (the system that robots play on BridgeBaseOnline).
One interesting change is that you no longer announce the point range after opening a strong, balanced 2NT.
So, for most of us, there’s not much of concern.

Remember, when it’s your turn to bid, if you need to know you can always ask your opponent what their partner’s bid means.
There is still no requirement to alert/announce the meaning of a jump overcall. Although the modern way is to play it as weak, we still have members who play it strong. This can catch you out, so we suggest you always check.

A summary of the new rules is on the club noticeboard.

Masterpoint Promotions 2024

Congratulations go to the following members who have been promoted to a higher rank

through the EBU Masterpoints Scheme in 2024:

Club Master Pat Storer (Feb 24)

(Promotions for 2022 & 2023 can be viewed in Masterpoint Promotions 2022 & 2023)

The EBU operates a Master Points Scheme. Players obtain points from success in duplicate bridge competitions, on a scale which varies according to the success itself, the size of the competition and its status. About the top one-third of players in a competition will be entitled to Master Points.  Only members of the EBU may register their points and have their records maintained. Members may see their record via myEBU, using their membership number and password.

If you need any help accessing your EBU record, please contact Jane Holdrick or Sue Wright.
