Bridge Blog 1095: If I Ran a Bridge Club, Part I


A prime directive – anyone who dropped an F-bomb would be penalized. Not money, which players tend to weasel out of, but match points, right on the spot. 20 or so. Enough to hurt. And I'd distribute them to other players. 
Why do I care? An F-bomb was dropped right behind me at the Airport Bridge Club on Tuesday by a player who occasionally has been my partner. A loud one, so loud that everyone at our table was appalled and voiced their disapproval.
Director Bill Finkelstein intervened, demanded an apology from both parties involved, got one, and play went on. But I don’t think an apology was enough. It can happen again. A penalty could go a long way toward curbing those intemperate outbursts. And if the F-bombers object to the penalty and walk out, well, good riddance.
