Bidding Boxes
Most games use bidding
boxes filled with cards
designating every possible
call. The director or one
of your opponents will
show you how to use the box. The
cards provide an instant review
of the bidding and eliminate
the possibility of mishearing
an auction.

Emphatic bids,
slow passes and
fast doubles
are not part of
duplicate bridge.
Try to bid and
play in tempo.

Shuffle, Deal and Play
You've found your
table and greeted your
opponents. The director
will place duplicate
boards on your table and
ask you to shuffle and
deal the cards. Instead of dealing them
to a player, deal them in front of you
and insert each hand into one of the
slots in the boards. Cards are dealt for
the first round only. No more shuffling!
To keep each deal intact for the next
round, place each card face down in front
of you on the table, pointing toward your
partner if you win the trick, toward the
opponents if you lose the trick.
