Duplicate Bridge
Duplicate bridge is a form of the game whereby the conditions
of play are duplicated exactly at each table: the same cards in
each hand; the same dealer; the same vulnerability. The
matchpoint score does not depend on the luck of the deal; it is
derived by comparing the scores made by players who hold
the identical cards under the identical conditions.
Duplicate Decisions
This is a publication originally created by Julie Greenberg,
ACBL Director of Education, for ACBL. It presents the Laws of
Duplicate Bridge and ACBL regulations in everyday language.
It’s ideal for players who want to know more about the laws
governing the game and for club directors to use in directing
local games.

Easybridge!
Easybridge!, created by Edith McMullin, is a program designed
to create new duplicate bridge players and games. The program
was funded by ACBL and the ACBL Educational Foundation
from 1999 through June of 2002.
E-mail
You can reach ACBL departments and employees directly
through e-mail. Frequently used e-mail addresses are found
on the inside front cover of this booklet.
Ethics
In bridge, ethics equals fair play. Breeches of ethics are generally
thought of as unfair and illegal practices which could
include deliberate cheating. The Laws of Duplicate Contract
Bridge deal with the question of proper behavior at bridge.
