Travelling Scoreslip ( 01:05:11 TueJan 7 2003 ) Select Action Reply Quote post Report post Last posts Whisper I run a duplicate bridge club in Hong Kong. The members come from all over the world. The travelling scoreslips are completed in so many different ways I was wondering if there is a standard method for completing scoreslips or does each Zone have the authority to decide. For instance: 4s making the contract. Is it 4S made 4 or is it 4s made 10? Some players even write +1 next to 4S if there is an over trick. Do I have the authority as the Director to impose a standard method for my club?

Re: Travelling Scoreslip ( 10:56:51 TueJan 7 2003 ) Select Action Reply Quote post Report post Last posts Ignore user Global ignore Whisper How to fill in a score-slip is a matter for the sponsoring organisation. In practice there are many different ways. It tends to be different in different countries, not just Zones. You have a perfect right to insist on your players doing it in a particular way. After all, your club is the sponsoring organisation. But why do you want to? As a scorer, you ignore the number of tricks made nearly all the time, do you not? You just take the score. If you really feel it is important to get some consistency then I suggest you get travellers with a column headed "Number of tricks". People will tend to fill that in consistently. As to the examples you offer, if someone makes 11 tricks in 4 then 4+5 is the North American notation, 4+1 is European - I do not know why you put "even" for a method used by hundreds of thousands of bridge players! As you say, some people say 4 made 5, some 4 made 10. --- David Stevenson <laws2@blakjak.com> Liverpool, England, UK http://blakjak.com/lws_menu.htm
