What we've learned
A few of us have been coming to the classes for three or four years, so the topics covered are numerous. Have we learned them? Well, some students are better than others, but we all keep trying. Here's a list of some of the topics we've discussed. Most of them have links associated with them; just click on the convention to download the link used for class. A commonly used resource we use is the ACBL.org website and the "Commonly Used Conventions" section. Click on the link to open it. Many of the conventions shown below link back to this resource.
(Note: This section is "under construction". We may have missed some of the topics we have covered, or the associated link may not be the same as provided in class. If we missed something or you have a suggested link, please let us know. As always, make sure that you and your partner have an understanding about the way you are playing a particular convention.)
