Director's Call

Slow play

Slow play is unfair on other players and often extends the overall playing time by as
much as 30 minutes. Players should make every effort to start the bidding promptly
at the start of each new round and avoid discussion about the previous round.

All discussion regarding the current round should only be enjoyed when all
of the boards have been played and the scores entered and agreed.
Inspection by the opponents of the Score on the traveller is to ensure a complete and correct record - not to review other teams performance - you'll have that opportunity when the results go up!!

Calling for the Director

When you think there has been an infringement of the rules, always call for the
Director straight away. Use "Director Please" and WAIT for a ruling to be given
and listen to all of your options.

Remember if you hesitate, your partner will be inhibited in the bidding and any bid
they wish to make will have to be clearly justified by the hand they hold.
