Educational Foundation games
These special games are held at clubs to
benefit the ACBL Educational
Foundation. The games award
masterpoints at 63.6% sectional-rated
black points. A charitable trust fund
established in 1987, the ACBL
Educational Foundation's mission is to
provide grants to promote the education
of bridge in ways that support the needs
of the bridge community.
Eligibility Points
Points added to the masterpoint totals of
players who have significant playing
experience outside the ACBL, especially
foreign players
Emerald Life Master
An ACBL Life Master who has at least
7500 masterpoints (at least 1500 silver,
16
red, gold or platinum, of which at least
750 must be gold or platinum) has
achieved the rank of Emerald LM.
Ethics
In bridge, ethics equals fair play.
Breaches of ethics are generally thought
of as unfair or illegal practices that
include deliberate cheating. The " Laws
of Duplicate Bridge " deal with questions
of proper behavior at bridge.
Etiquette
Much of the popularity of contract
bridge is attributable to the high
standards of etiquette which are
observed by the players. A player should
maintain at all times a courteous
attitude toward partner and the
opponents. A player should carefully
avoid any remark or action that might
cause annoyance or embarrassment to
another player, or that might interfere
with another player enjoying the game.
Players who fail to uphold these
standards should be reported to the
director under the ACBL Zero Tolerance
policy. As a matter of courtesy, a player
should refrain from:
 Paying insufficient attention.
 Making gratuitous comments
during the play as to the auction
or the adequacy of the contract.
 Detaching a card from the hand
before it is that player's turn.
 Arranging the cards played to
previous tricks in a disorderly
manner or mixing the cards
