| Bridge-A-Rama Rules (2007-2008) |
| You and your teammate play seven matches between September 2007 and April 2008. That's a match per month, with no match arranged for December, which can be a month to enjoy the holidays or catch up on games missed. There will be a potluck luncheon in May to award prizes. |
| At the beginning of September you will receive a roster showing the teams you play and which team serves as host. Each match is played at a time mutually convenient to the four players. It is the responsibility of the host team to schedule the match. After each match, the host provides the scores to Ruth Yadlowsky by one of the following means: email to ruth@hytechresearch.com, by phone (639‑4914), or by mail to 6706 Circle Drive, Radford, VA 24141. Winners will be determined by total score for the seven matches. |
| Each match is 20 hands. If any hand is passed out, the same dealer re-deals the hand. Party bridge scoring (as shown below) is used, including honors and tack-on scores. At the end of 20 hands, score an unfinished as shown under “Rubber Premium”. |
