Welcome to Duplicate - 3

Getting Started
You may want to start in a newcomer
game (meaning new to duplicate, not
necessarily new to bridge). Most clubs
and tournaments have games especially
for new and intermediate players.
Many other games are "stratified" so
that your scores are compared only
to others at your level.
Duplicate games are held daily in
cities and towns across North America -
indeed, around the world. This is one
of the greatest things about duplicate
and the ACBL - just about anywhere
you travel, you'll find a club.
To locate a game near you, go to
www.acbl.org and click on the "Clubs"
header, then "Find a Club" on the left
side. Or, call ACBL's Club and Member
Services Department at 662-253-3100
for information about the nearest games.
A number of websites offer both free
and ACBL-sanctioned games. Click on
"Play Online" in the "Clubs" section of
the ACBL website to learn more.

Like a teacher presides over
a class, a director oversees all
aspects of a bridge game.
Don't be afraid to call the
director if there is an irregularity.
It's their job to make the game
fair for everyone.
