The Laws of Duplicate Contract Bridge

The current, 2007, laws have been used in Australia since about mid-2008. These laws are promulgated by the World Bridge Federation (WBF), and approved by the WBF Laws Committee, The Portland Club, the European Bridge League and the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL). The first link below will take you to the current laws on the ACBL web-site as a PDF document file. The second link gives you a Word option as well.
