So one of me students brought this bridge device to me today and I suggested that it probably would not be legal in tournament play. I can see where if someone brought this out in a gambling match there would likely be a long discussion before it gets used.
In looking up the general rules for bridges it states any form of bridge is okay if it conforms to normal standards. A bit vague but this tool does not fit that description to me. What say you?
Still, It is pretty interesting and with a bit of practice it works well.

PS What is the definition of "normal" ? Normal in the sense of appearance or functionality? I my opinion this tool does conform to functionality but not appearance so it could be argued either way I guess.
I have no horse in this race. I don't care one way or the other because it becomes fair game for all players either way.
