Set up the room

    they should be distributed on the tables. See the room set-up form.

Set each table in play with:

  • Boards
  • Bridgemates
  • Table numbers
  • Movement cards
  • Bidding boxes

At the start of and during the tournament

  • Check the box for announcements and share these with members.

  • Move the boards at the end of each round and call the move timeously.
  • Direct with good grace and patience.

At the end of the evening

  • Collect all boards and return them to the box in number order and
    in the same orientation.
  • Return the card readers to the charging stations in the office.
