New Blue Book – Public Draft

Following feedback on the changes made last year to the blue book, the Laws & Ethics Committee have reviewed several elements of the book and produced a new draft, with proposed changes, which you can now read in full using the links below.  

In summary there are four main areas of change:

  • A widening of the use of announcements
  • No alerting of doubles after the first round of bidding unless they refer to a specific suit
  • A representation and some relaxation of 2+ level opening bids
  • Introduction of a Glossary for terms often used in the Blue Book
