M1: Bridge: Completing Convention Cards
March 5, 2020 · 3:00-5:00 pm
Description: In contract bridge and particularly in duplicate bridge a convention card is a summary of the conventions and treatments that a particular pair is using. An essential tool of playing well is having an agreement with your partner (or partners). In other words, this means knowing what each other's bids mean. The convention card provides this understanding. Players are strongly encouraged to have a convention card with each player he/she plays with. Each card will be different as no two players play exactly alike. By learning to properly complete and utilize convention cards, players will gain more confidence playing with new players as well as regular partners. If you play at duplicate clubs or in tournaments, you must have a completed convention card or you will be penalized.
Purpose: Learn how to complete a convention card
