Procedure section
editInteresting, but there are several questions that arise for me in the Procedure section (I have played bridge but not at a serious level):
- What is "Law 25"?
- What is a "skip-bid warning"?
- What is an "LHO"?
Point 3 in particular is extremely cryptic; I can't for the life of me work out why someone should be forced to wait 10 seconds while "giving the appearance of studying his hand" if that's not what he's actually doing. Is it necessary to mind-read a player's intent to see whether they are following the rules of the game? Explanations or links to articles where these terms are explained would be welcome. -dmmaus 04:17, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing this out. We bridge nerds tend to forget to make things a bit clearer for "mere mortals"; also, we usually have {{Bridgenote}} template at the top of most articles containing "cryptic" terms, but I forgot to add it here. I'll try to address those issues. Duja 07:33, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
- Cool, that expansion helps a lot. Thanks. -dmmaus 03:52, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
