Double Dummy is available for download or rental at https://vimeo.com/ondemand/doubledummy
As an 18 year old freshman at the University of Virginia, I learned how to play bridge for the first time. My aunt Kathleen, visiting for my grandfather's funeral, said the following as I explained the house rules for Hearts, "this is stupid we should be playing Bridge." Despite what I remember as an initial protest, Kathleen won out and I don't think I played Hearts again for at least 20 years.
The first seven years of my bridge playing career were spent sporadically enjoying a game when home with my parents. My older sister Melissa often filled out those games. Sometimes, a neighbor or couple would come join us. It still boggles the mind, that I lived in New York City, for slightly less than two years after graduating, and it never even occurred to me to look for a bridge game!

- Oren, you said, "Ron rebid 2♦, because he was concerned I would have expected more strength for 2♠, and the spade fit never came to light" Isn't Ron's thinking standard for this auction?

- Good luck Dave, congratulations on making the finals once.
- Double Dummy Day
- Sam, Thank you for sharing these benefits here in this forum. I think it's important to note that you worked really hard to sell all of those tickets to the screening and the success story that is Stirling would not be possible without your dedication.
- Double Dummy Day
- Yehudit, SiVY had a screening on January 15th earlier this year. They sold over 140 tickets, so many that we had to request a larger theater.
