BRIDGE ETHICS AND ETIQUETTE 

• Do not bid or play your cards with special emphasis or use an inflection of your voice which would give your partner information on the nature of your hand. 

• Do not express pleasure or displeasure at a lead, play, bid, double or any other call partner or opponents make. 

• Do not use hesitation in bidding or playing as a way to deceive opponents or of signaling your partner. 

• Do not use a bid, double or redouble that is known to you and your partner, but not generally known to other players. 

• Do not take a trick before it is completed. 

• Do not lead to a new trick until the previous trick is completed. 

• Do not call partner’s attention to your score when you have a part score and a lower bid than usual will be enough for game. If you or your partner has made a revoke while playing the current hand, it is not your duty to call attention to this breach of rules. 

• Revoke: To fail to follow suit when a card of the suit led is in your hand. 

• Established Revoke: When you or your partner have led or played to the next trick after committing a revoke.
