I have come to realise it is futile to expect or hope a regular club game will be run in accordance with the laws. -- Jillybean

Continuous responsibility of the club committee to educate the players. Combination of educating at the time of an irregularity, notices/booklets/emails, and the occasional speech by the Director during play. Some people are stubborn, so they only learn by being smacked.

I'm interested in ACBL specifically here, when you say club committee would would that be the unit board in the ACBL?

So far as I know, there's nothing in the ACBL Handbook about Units being responsible for educating club TDs.

That a different topic altogether I'm interested in player, unit member education.

My bad. Too many threads in my head.
There's something in the afore-mentioned Handbook about education for players, but you'll have to read it for yourself, as the ACBL seems to have set up their handbook online so I can print it, but not save it and not copy from it.

Yes. Why do so many North Americans assume everyone else is in North America ??

Well, just for the record, one of our NA clubs here in town is owned by the members, and run by a committee; all annual profits not used for maintenance of our toys is blown on a bash at the end of the year.
Edit: Mind you, a bash in St. George is not quite equivalent to a bash in other places, such as the little town about 122 miles up the road.

25 or 35 only. The regular directors of the other games in town are the proprietors, but that is all they pay when they are absent. 35 when table count goes to 9 1/2.
Card fees are only 4 bucks, too.

4 bucks? For ACBL sanctioned games? That can't include coffee and dare I say, hand records?
