The Harrisburg Bridge Club (HBC) is committed to improving acceptable player behavior at all
times. In accordance with Laws 74, 80F, 81C4, 90A, 911, and
92A (Laws of Duplicate Bridge), the following policy outlines
what is expected of all players during events at HBC, as well as on HBC property.
The ultimate purpose of the Z-T
policy is to create a much more pleasant atmosphere. We are attempting to do away with unacceptable behavior in order to make
the game of bridge more enjoyable for all. Below are some examples of
commendable behavior, which, while not required,
will greatly contribute to a much more relaxed game.
* Being a good (host) or(guest) at the table.
* Greeting
others in a friendly manner.
* Praising the bidding and/or play of the opponents.
* Having two (2) clearly completed,
and identical, convention cards available to the opponents. (This is an ACBL rule)
Following are some examples of
behavior that will not be tolerated.
* Badgering, rudeness, insinuations, intimidation, profanity, threats or violence.
* Negative comments concerning opponents' or partner's play.
* Constant and gratuitous lessons and analyses at the
table.
* Loud and disruptive arguing with a director's ruling.
If a player at the table behaves in an unacceptable
manner, call the director immediately.
Annoying behavior, embarrassing remarks, or any other conduct which might interfere with the enjoyment of
the game is specifically prohibited by ACBL Law 74A.
It is the responsibility of the director to handle any situation immediately. If the incident is not resolved
in a satisfactory
manner, the CDE committee should be informed.
In the event of a CDE meeting to act on a complaint,
the person must appear before the CDE committee. If this does not take place, the committee will inform the person, by registered
mail, of their decision. This finding will be binding, subject to appeal.
