Palle's Bridge Page
Please use this calendar to update your availability. I will
transfer the data from this to
the planning calendar above at
regular intervals.

Spreadsheat with cumulated whist results.
The most general rules are not here (I shall assume that you all know
those), but
some of the more rarely used special cases (e.g. 4
times pass), and cases where we
had to expand/change/update
rules are noted down here so that we can treat those
consistently.
Here you can see how to compute the score of a single game. Sol
simply gives
50 points (win or lose)
for each player, Ren Sol gives 100, Pass is 20 points
per
trick, for Gran you use this score matrix. Double this for
each "special bid" (vip,
gode, gamle, halve).
Here is the score-sheet to allow you to keep score of up to 5 players.
Bridge News and Info
How to play against a trump contract. First lead conventions. This
is our standard
from today so your partner will expect you to
follow this.
If you are Captain next week then read this - each time. It may
have gotten updated.
The simple one-page list of allowed openings and responds.
Read here How, When, and Why to use Stayman. You should read and
fully understand
this before next week. From today this will
be expected standard on all teams (unless the
team internally decides not to use Stayman).
This has been updated with information about how we do this.
I think we know how to do this now, I will take it away soon :)
Bridge Links
A one page summary, somewhat more complex than "Palle's
Bid-Summary" above.
You should read this. Read as far as it makes sense for you now,
then return later and read the rest.
This is different from the English version, so if you read both
English and German, then just read them both.
It is never a
waste to read the same thing written in two different ways.
This is a broad overview of several aspects of the game. Not as
detailed as the Wikipedia pages, but a good
reference
document, and it has a nice list of links. You should read at
least the beginning. If/when you like
to learn the rubber
scoring, then this has a nice example in it.
This has 8 lessons all with quiz and answers. The system is a bit
different from what I have been teaching
you, but you may
prefer this system in the end, so I recommend that you start
taking those lessons,
including the quizzes.
You can select "Learn" on the top menu which will offer you
several tutorials, or you can select
"Play Solo" which will
launch a bridge playing programme which you can play against.
Note that
it also allows you to change your bidding system.
Random Hand generation, good to test your bidding systems.
