Bridge etiquette, or, Be Gentle, It's Just A Game.
DO:
  • Be a good “host” or “guest” at the table.
  • Greet others in a friendly manner. Introduce yourself and your partner to people who are new to you.
  • Praise good bidding and play (after the hand!)
  • Have two legible (and agreeing) convention cards for the opponents.
DON'T
  • Make snide, critical, or off-colour remarks
  • Give constant and gratuitous lessons and analyses at the table.
  • Argue loudly with a director - or anyone.
And yes, the RA DBC does have a zero-tolerance policy, with score penalties and even ejection. No warnings - offenders will be punished. Annoying behavior, embarrassing remarks, or any other conduct which might interfere with the enjoyment of the game is specifically prohibited by Law 74A. Law 91A gives the director the authority to assess disciplinary penalties.
If a player at the table behaves in an unacceptable manner, call the director immediately.
