DO go over your convention card with partner before the game starts.
DO turn off your cell phone before the game begins. (See director for emergency situations)
DO say hello to opponents when you start a new round.
DO be ready to bid and play when it’s your turn.
DO count your cards.
DO alert and announce all bids that require an action.
DO try making your bids and plays in an even tempo whenever possible; avoid hesitations; be consistently deliberate in your bidding and play.
DO call the director nicely and raise your hand when an infraction occurs.
DO compliment partner (or the opponents!) on good play after the hand is finished.
DO observe the time allotted for the play of each round and be prepared to make a concerted effort to catch up if you have fallen behind, regardless of the reason for the lateness. If given a late play, don’t whine.
DO NOT delay the bidding or play by doing some distracting thing (including writing on your convention card or posting the contract in the Bridgemate) when it is your turn to do something).
DO NOT reach for or touch a card in the bidding box until you are certain what you are going to do – to do otherwise is to invite a director call.
DO NOT snap your cards on the table.
DO NOT make comments to anyone during play, make faces or use body language.
DO NOT point out mistakes or criticize partner or opponents at the table.
DO NOT make a ruling or allow an opponent to make a ruling – always call the director.
DO NOT hold a post-mortem with partner until all hands are finished for the round.
DO NOT stand next to any table where you can see the cards.
DO NOT get boards from a slow table that you are going to play. Ask the director to get the boards, but never do so until the round has been called.
