Count signals

Count signals allow a defender to
indicate to partner the length held in a
particular suit. The standard procedure
is to play high-low with an even number
of cards and to play low-high with an
odd number of cards.
Crossruff
A crossruff is a method of play whereby
ruffing tricks are made in each of the
partnership hands, thus using the
trumps separately.
Cruise ship bridge
Some ships are sanctioned annually by
the ACBL to offer bridge games on its
cruises. These games award
masterpoints. If a ship does not have
this type of arrangement, an individual
may apply to the ACBL to run
sanctioned games on specific cruises,
with the written approval of the cruise
line. To find a sanctioned cruise visit:
