Calling all Directors &
Players interested in the New Laws for Duplicate Bridge.
The World Bridge Federation Laws
Committee has published its official commentary on the 2017 update to
the Laws of Bridge. This 38 page publication is a much
simpler way to understand the intent and application of each law than
the current 157 page Laws of Duplicate Bridge. Note - since
this is a WBF publication there might be minor differences with ACBL
regulations. Neverless it is a great source to begin or
further develop your understanding of the Laws of Duplicate
bridge.

Make Your Zeal for Bridge Infectious - How to Spread the Fun
Each
of us are the very best recruiters for this game of ours. Now
here's a way to make showing people the fun of Bridge easy to do
without taking on full scale lessons
(we have wonderful teachers who can help with that).
Adults have more fun doing than listening to lectures anyway.
So do youngsters in Middle or High School, even College! One
idea is to emphasize the fun and challenge of play, foregoing bidding
for when people are ready. Here are two mini-games that do
just that. No bidding systems or heavy rules - just a great
way to experience much of the fun bridge can be.
Mini-Bridge is practiced in the Americas and
Europe. HOOL is a modified version of Mini-Bridge
that shares hand information without the burden of bidding
systems. NOW
invite your friends over, have a Mini-Bridge/HOOL party, and get them loving this game enough
to take lessons and think about rubber bridge then duplicate.
Baby steps!
Calling
ALL CBA BRIDGE LIBRARY BOOKS!
Time to check yourself
back in. If you
know a CBA member who has a library book, please remind them to return
it to the Library. We want you back at the Bridge Center so
others can have a chance to
read you!
