Mobile Phones in Club Play
Does item 14 on Page D33 in the NZ Bridge Manual - Tournament Regulations banning/penalising the use of Mobile Phones cover club play too or do clubs have to make a local rule?
Regards
Peter

Hi Peter, As far as I understand, these regulations seem to be just for tournaments:
p.D14- see definition of "tournament"
p.D15- I 1: Introduction and 1.1 paragraph
At the club level, we warn players to turn their phone off...and we rarely have an issue. We never discussed applying para. 14 either.
At tournaments, I have been witness to a few "purses" ringing...and director warning about it...( and by the way, rarely does any culprit go to their purse,.) but I have yet to have been aware of any penalty applied in these case.
I do not read any text that says that if applies to clubs...but with this p.D33, clubs probably could...
Very sensisitive matter in this day and age.!
cheers
Helene
