See ACBL Play Courses.
" Play of the Hand in the 21st
Century "
" Play of the Hand in the 21st Century " is
the title of the second course in The
ACBL Bridge Series of student texts and
teacher manuals which is sometimes
referred to as The Diamond Series.
Player number
The seven-digit number issued to each
member of the ACBL is that person's
player number. Please use your player
number in all ACBL-sanctioned games.
The first digit is changed to a letter when
the member achieves Life Master status.
Player of the Year
An annual award (since 1990) for the
ACBL player who earns the most
platinum points in North American
Championship events with no upper
masterpoint limit (NABC+). The
Soloway Trophy (formerly the Goren
Trophy 1990-2007) honors the Player of
the Year.
The analysis of a deal after play is
completed is called the postmortem.
Private Scorecard
The convention card provides a table for
players to record their board-by-board
results. While it is not mandatory that
one or both partners keep a private
score, it is encouraged in the event of a
disputed result.
Pro-Am Game
Pro-Am games are frequently run at
clubs as part of a mentoring program.
They consist of " Pro " players
(experienced players) with a specified
minimum number of masterpoints (e.g.,
more than 300) and " Amateur " players
(newcomers or less experienced players)
with fewer points.
Progression
The progression of the players in bridge
is the movement of players used to
complete a session of play.
Proprieties
The Proprieties was initially the section
of the Laws of Duplicate Bridge that
dealt with conduct and ethics. Its
purpose was to make the game more
enjoyable for everyone, no matter what
the situation. Starting with the 1987
version of the Laws, the Proprieties were
incorporated into the Laws.
