"This booklet has been designed to serve as a reference tool for miscellaneous information about duplicate bridge and its governing organization, the ACBL. It is intended for the newer or less than seasoned duplicate bridge players. Most of these things that follow, while not perfectly obvious to new players, are old hat to experienced tournaments players. "
"If you like to have fun, love a challenge, enjoy meeting new people and want to keep your brain sharp, then duplicate bridge is for you. Duplicate is the ultimate partnership game and is widely regarded as one of the world’s finest mind sports. Whether you’ve played bridge for a week or 50 years, dealt one hand or a thousand, you’re already a player!"
"Duplicate Bridge is continually evolving and changing which is why the World Bridge Federation has charged its Laws Committee with the task of “at least once each decade making a comprehensive study and updating of the entire laws structure.”"
The ACBL offers free weekly bridge articles, Bridge Bites...clubs may also post the articles on their website or use them as material in educational workshops. Written for the newcomer/intermediate audience.
