International Activities
There is a new section on the website where all notices regarding International Trials, Matches and Events will be shown.
So if you are interested in how the SBU is managing our international
activities, particularly Trials, this is the place where you will find
all the information you want or need.
The new Trials Preparation Event is intended
to allow those players who wish to gain experience of trial events or
who aspire to play for Scotland to compete without having to play
against the very strongest players. At least the four leading pairs in
this event will be offered places in Stage 1 of the Open Trials.

Limitation
of Penalties
Clubs may make their own rules regarding limitation of penalties in
aggregate tournaments however the SBU recommend that the rules
laid down in the 1951 edition of Farrington's "Duplicate Bridge
Movements" is adopted, including the recommendation that "no
score shall be limited to less than the score made by any other pair
playing the hand in the same direction whose score is not subject to
limitation".
