Types of Sessions & Protection System

Labels of our Regular Sessions

We run regular club duplicate sessions to suit players of different level in the City and Polish Club Ashfield. There is no specific timeline when you should progress to the next level, you can pace yourself to master the game of bridge. Your progress doesn’t need to be linear, you could skip and jump a (few) level(s), you could play in two different types of sessions during your breakthrough. Feel free to try, Bridge is an adventure and enjoy!

Supervised Duplicate

  • For players who have completed beginners course or know the basic of the game but not quite ready to play in duplicate session as yet.
  • The session will start with a 10-15 minutes pre-game talk, followed by a Supervised play. We willy play the randomly dealt hands with guidance. These hands will be the same as the main field, so you can compare the results after the session.
  • Masterpoints will be awarded. Results will be uploaded to Pianola (a smart tool for bridge players)
