ACBL Duplicate Bridge Ralph Reinecke, Activity Leader

Do you know what Duplicate Bridge is? I didn’t either. So I had a discussion with Ralph. He’s been playing bridge in all forms since he was a young boy when he would go with his mother while she would play. He became a lover of the game. Ralph had been playing at the Senior Center since 2011.

The players are members of the ACBL — American Contract Bridge League — and report their scores each time they play, competing with players all over the U.S. and world. This group plays twice a week, normally 6 tables of men and women.

This is not an action game, but more of a thinking game with a social aspect. Duplicate Bridge was highly popular in the 30’s and 40’s. It generally takes them 3 hours to play a session.

They are a friendly group, there are usually snacks, and they like to celebrate birthdays with cake!
