This is the website of JOHN W. DAWE.
	E.B.U. certified (?) TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR (by the skin of my teeth)
	HONORARY TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR at THE DEVA BRIDGE CLUB
	PRESIDENT of the HAWARDEN BRIDGE CLUB
	The aim of this site is to assist Tournament Directors in running Duplicate Bridge  sessions.
	It will be especially of value to newly accredited T.Ds and also of value for T.Ds to run
	movements with which they are not familiar.
	The site is best viewed in Internet Explorer. Other search engines may not show the site properly.
	For instance Google does not open up with the Home Page but with lines of print. These may be
	clicked on to open a page and then click on HOME to open the Home Page.
	The TABLE LAYOUTS are for the T.D. to lay out the boards ready for round 1.
	A N/S Shunt is an alternative method of accommodating a 1/2 table an example of which is:-
	say 11 1/2 tables. The initial sitting out pair are numbered N/S 12. After round 1 they replace
	the N/S pair at the highest number table (in this case 11 ), next round N/S 11 replace N/S 10
	and so on.
	If anyone has a suggestion or request for inclusions on the site please e-mail me at

	T.D.AIDE MEMOIRE.
	I have created these in A4 format. The Aide Memoire may be used during a TD course.
	2 TABLE HOWELL AT HOME
	A 2 table BRIDGE session at home can be very enjoyable. Without the experience of a qualified
	T.D. present players may be unfamiliar with the LAWS of BRIDGE. Even though you are playing
	a friendly game you should play in accordance with the LAWS. The T.D AIDE MEMOIRE will be
	of benefit in deciding the more common errors encountered in bidding and play.
	HOWELL MOVEMENTS
	The movements for tables 3 to 12 (inclusive)
	TEAMS
	There are a number of Teams movements.Here I have included Table Cards for the
	AMERICAN WHIST DOWN movement.
	If any club would like Table cards for another movement putting the site I can do this if I
	have a copy of it.
	PART PIVOT TEAMS
	If anyone can e-mail me a copy of MAX BAVINS newsletter outlining the method whereby North
	remains and plays with only 2 out his other 3 team members It would be of great help.
	MAX BAVIN unfortunately does not have a copy.
	FULL PIVOT TEAMS
	I have created these movements from the newsletter  by MR MAX BAVIN.
	Playing TEAMS is very popular. PIVOT TEAMS is an extension of the game whereby, with a team
	of 4 players, NORTH remains in place throughout the game. At intervals the team members rotate
	resulting in each member playing with every other member.
	At present I have included 4 tables & 6 tables to 18 tables.I hope to create from 2,3 & 5 tables.
	At the Deva we hold an annual Pivot Teams competition consisting of a 3 hour Qualifying Round.
	The 1st 4 teams qualify for the a 12 board Semi Final.
	Then on another evening the 1st 2 Teams play in a 12 board Final.
	The same evening the 2 losing Semi-Finalists play in a 12 board play-off for 3rd place.
	The table cards are in this section
	HESITATION MOVEMENTS
	The movements are for 5,6,8,10 and 11 tables
	DOUBLE MITCHELL MOVEMENTS
	The movements are for 15 1/2-16,17 1/2-18 & 19 1/2-20 tables.
	Also here are movements for 16 1/2, 18 1/2 & 20 1/2 tables which involve a N/S Shunt.
	These movements are ideal for the tables quoted in that they allow the pairs to play a higher percentage
	of the boards in play.
	For example:-         16 tables - 24 boards - every pair play every board = 100%
	Whereas normally  16 tables -  32 boards - pairs play 24 boards          = 75%
	I have not yet worked out DOUBLE MITCHELL MOVEMENTS for 17,19 or 21 Tables
	APPENDIX MITCHELL MOVEMENTS
	These movements are for 17, 19 & 21 tables.
