Bridge laws
are established, published, governed, and regulated by jurisdictional
bodies. The American Contact Bridge League controls North
America and has developed two sets of Laws, one for Duplicate play, the
other for Contract Rubber Bridge players. BridgeHands
provides a copy of these laws, numerous indexes, and many other supporting
documents.
The World Bridge Federation also has established a similar set of laws to
govern play outside North America, supported by many nations.
BridgeHands will publish these laws at a future date. BridgeHands
greatly appreciates the Laws jurisdictional bodies allows us to share a copy
of their copyrighted materials here with their express permission.
