Caddy Master
Charity Fund Games
The Caddy Master is the person at an
ACBL tournament who is responsible for
recruiting, training and supervising the
caddies.
Call
Any bid, double, redouble or pass in
bridge is known as a call.
Canadian Bridge Federation (CBF)
Although Canada is a part of the ACBL,
the nation also has its own national
bridge organization (NBO), the
Canadian Bridge Federation (CBF). The
CBF, established in the late 1960s,
represents all Canadian players. It deals
with its own national championships,
has its own charity organization and
handles its own representation in world
championships. Visit the CBF at
www.cbf.ca.
Celebrity Speaker Program
One of the features of a typical
Intermediate/Newcomer (I/N) Program
is a series of free lectures given at
tournaments by bridge celebrities. This
is a wonderful opportunity for newer
players to learn more about duplicate
bidding, defense and conventions. Three
times a year at the NABCs, bridge
celebrities and bridge teachers give 30minute
mini-lessons twice a day (except
for the final Sunday of the tournament).
This program is offered at some regional
and sectional tournaments as well.
April is Charity Month. All sanctioned
club game sessions may be held as
Charity Fund Games during April and
once per sanctioned session in other
months except for January, May and
September. These games award 63.6%
sectional-rated black points.
Chicago (Four-Deal Bridge)
Chicago is a form of bridge frequently
played in clubs and well suited to home
play. It is named after the city in which
it originated. For more information visit:

Claim or Concession
According to the Laws of Duplicate
Bridge, a claim or concession is a
statement to the effect that a player will
win (claim) or lose (concession) a
specific number of tricks. Play ceases
once a claim is made, even if contested.
The director decides the final
disposition of tricks if the claim is
contested. Procedures differ in social
and duplicate bridge.
Club
Any individual ACBL member, group of
ACBL members or nonaffiliated
organization (such as a country club, a
fraternal or industrial organization, or a
church or other religious group) may
apply for a sanction from the ACBL to
conduct a duplicate game(s) at which
masterpoints are awarded. Clubs allow
ACBL members and others the
opportunity to compete on a regular
