Accommodating Disabled
Players
Disabled players are welcome at EBU
tournaments. Occasionally they will have difficulty with the mechanics of
the game as normally played. The following regulations are intended to
assist when difficulties arise.
1.Commencing play
i) Any player is entitled to require that the
dealer and vulnerability be stated at the commencement of each board.
2.Bidding
i) Bidding boxes are to be used when
this is possible.
ii) If the
use of bidding boxes by one or more players is not possible, then all
players should call their own bids (where this is possible).
iii) The
opponents of any player unable to use a bidding box have the option to
require that bidding boxes are used in addition to spoken bids, in which
case the bidding box of the player unable to use it should be operated by
one of the opponents.
3.Play
i) When
all players except dummy can see cards played normally, play continues as
normal.
ii) When a
player, other than dummy, is unable to see cards played normally, then
(subject to the option in 3.C) all players are to call their own cards as
played.
iii) The opponents of a player
unable to see cards played normally have the option to require that all
cards (but not the cards of one or more players to the exclusion of the
others) are called by dummy as played.
iv)
Cards must be named in full and in a consistent manner.
4.General
i) If it
is impracticable for these regulations to be followed in whole or in part,
the Tournament Director is authorised to specify the manner in which the
bidding and play shall proceed.
Players requiring stationary positions, strong
lighting, pre-sorted cards or any other special assistance are requested
to notify their needs in advance when entering tournaments, and
arrangements will be made for the Tournament Directors on site to deal
with the practical arrangements.
