Bridge can be a demanding game - that is why we play it - and there are times when concentration and pressure can take their toll. It is for these situations that we issue this code as a reminder.
Greet others in a friendly manner prior to start of play on each round
Be a good 'host' or 'guest' at the table
Make your convention card readily available to your opponents and fill it out completely
Make bridge enjoyable for yourself, partner and opponents
Give credit when opponents make a good bid or play
Take care of your personal grooming
Ensure that your mobile phone is turned off
Enjoy the company as well as the game
Remember that it is rude to criticise your partner or your opponents in public, to be less than polite at the table, to gloat over good results or to object to a call for the tournament director, or to dispute or argue about a director's ruling
