Think bridge etiquette doesn’t matter?
It does.
Duplicate bridge is one of the few games where skill and ethics are equally important. The best players don’t just know the right bid or play—they know how to conduct themselves at the table.
A few reminders:
♠️ Make your opening lead before writing the score.
♥️ When you’re dummy, stay silent.
♦️ Watch the cards, not your opponents.
♣️ Keep frustration in check.
🕒 Respect everyone’s time by playing in tempo.
Good etiquette creates a better experience for your partner, your opponents, and your club. It also helps preserve the integrity of the game we love.
