Appeals

The World Bridge Federation has issued a Code of Practice which is to be followed by Appeals Committees at World Championships. The WBF recommends the use of the Code of Practice in other major championships too.

A revised version of Code of Practice, with examples and the guidelines for rulings is available in PDF format by clicking here.

This section contains cases brought before the Appeals Committee at World Championships.

Although decisions of any Appeals Committee are not binding on any other such committee, it should be interesting as well as instructional to see how top class Appeals Committees handle various cases.

"No opinion, unless the recorded corporate decision of the committee, should be considered to have the authority of a committee decision. Directors seeking guidance should refer to their respective NBOs."
