is the person designated to supervise the

Districts
The ACBL is divided into 25 districts.
Each district elects one member to serve
on the ACBL Board of Directors, three
members to serve on the Board of
15
Governors and two alternate directors
who are eligible to attend Board of
Governors meetings. Each is elected for
a three-year term. When someone joins
the ACBL, they become a member of a
specific unit and the district in which the
unit is geographically located.
Double dummy
When a deal is played in a way that it
could not be improved upon, as though
declarer were looking at all four hands,
it is said to have been played Double
Dummy. The term can also be used to
refer to perfect play by the defenders.
Drury
A conventional response (2♣ and/or 2♦)
by a passed hand after partner makes a
one-level major suit opening. The
response asks partner to clarify the
strength of the opening bid.
Duplicate bridge
Duplicate bridge is a form of the game
whereby the conditions of play are
duplicated exactly at each table: the
same cards in each hand, the same
dealer, the same vulnerability. The
matchpoint or IMP score does not
depend on the luck of the deal.
Matchpoints or IMPs are derived by
comparing the scores made by players
who hold identical cards under the
identical conditions.
" Duplicate Decisions "
" Duplicate Decisions " is an ACBL
publication which presents the " Laws of
Duplicate Bridge " in everyday language.
