pirate22 Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 It is a courtesy when playing a Tourney-or a game---if one recieves a phone call during play-------To pick up and say "Hold plse" and continue till hand is over............How many times have i heard the response "I was on the PHONE". and the contract is let through.

barmar Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 If you're playing bridge at the kitchen table with friends or family, I think they would put up with you taking the phone call. On the other hand, if you're at a tournament, having your cell phone go off may be subject to a penalty. If you're playing online, many people consider this very casually, and will step away from the computer to answer the doorbell, take phone calls, go to the bathroom, etc. Reminder: This is the General Bridge Discussion forum; BBO-specific discussions are down there |\/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
