Notes Applying To All Events
  1. Monday and Wednesday night bridge commences at 7.00pm, Tuesday at 6.00pm and Friday at 1.00pm.  Players are to be SEATED 10 minutes before these times.  The Convenor should be phoned if any player is going to be late or unable to attend.   Failure to honour these obligations causes delay and is discourteous.
  2. For pairs events (four nights usually with the same partner), one substitute is permitted.
  3. Substitutes (where allowed) MUST be recorded on the computer table slip as Sub with the name and computer number of absentee and sub, otherwise the substitution will be disallowed.
  4. Partners for next week’s competition, or those requiring partners, should be entered on the Convenor’s list before leaving the club. Any  withdrawals or additions are to be notified to the Convenor as soon as possible so that the  room can be set up for play without delay.

Conduct and Etiquette
It is the aim of The Masterton Bridge Club to foster an atmosphere where bridge can be played and enjoyed by all, without unpleasantness caused by poor etiquette or bad behaviour. Players should at all times maintain a courteous attitude towards their partner and opponents. A player shall carefully avoid any remarks or actions that may cause annoyance or embarrassment to another player, or might interfere with the enjoyment of the game. Every player should follow uniform and correct procedure in calling and playing, since any departure from correct standards may disrupt the orderly progress of the game.
