Arrow Switching

Spenn
edited February 2013 in Bridge Laws
Is there a convention for which way to switch the boards in a arrow switch ? i.e. Presuming that N/S stay sitting in their normal position, and the E/W come to the table. Who is then North ? The new E or W. Or isn't there a convention and it's just up to E/W to decide who would like to be North ? Thanks

    It's up to the director to say or the club to have a regulation but in EBU events the norm is for East to become North.

    If there are bridgemates is there any reason why original North should not go on operating the machine? As a director this is my preference but in my experience often either the new North-South grab it or the old North forces it on a bemused opponent.

    If a club is using Pianola (sort of a bridge facebook), East should become North because the software tracks your personal (not just partnership) performance.
