Australian Bridge Directors Association

Introduction to the Association

The Australian Bridge Directors Association (ABDA) exists to establish minimum standards, and to work for the maintenance and improvement of these standards, for tournament directing at all levels of competitive bridge in Australia. The ABDA is generously supported by an annual grant from the Australian Bridge Federation.

The ABDA has adopted a Code of Ethics & Procedural Principles for Tournament Directors. This code sets out both the ethical and performance standards that the ABDA believes should be the goal of Directors of all types of duplicate bridge sessions and tournaments from Club through to National level.

Directors and people interested in directing are welcome to join the ABDA. The subscription is $25 for new or lapsed members joining or rejoining the ABDA.
