jallerton Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I have copies of three lawbooks. They are entitled: "The Laws of Duplicate Contract Bridge 1987""The Laws of Duplicate Contract Bridge 1997""The Laws of Duplicate Bridge 2007" Have we stopped playing Contract Bridge without realising it?

WellSpyder Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Or maybe we have stopped playing auction bridge and finally realised it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pran Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I have copies of three lawbooks. They are entitled: "The Laws of Duplicate Contract Bridge 1987""The Laws of Duplicate Contract Bridge 1997""The Laws of Duplicate Bridge 2007" Have we stopped playing Contract Bridge without realising it?There were four separate laws in the earlier thirties:The Laws of Auction BridgeThe Laws of Contract BridgeThe Laws of Duplicate Bridge (applied to both Auction and Contract)The Laws of Duplicate Whist Three of them eventually lost interest and the Laws of Duplicate Bridge was reconfigured for Duplicate Contract Bridge only (and correspondingly renamed). In 2007 WBFLC announced the renaming to The Laws of Duplicate Bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnasher Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I think this is in the wrong forum. The name of the publication does not form part of the Laws, so this is not a change to a Law or Laws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
