Bridge adalah Permainan Komunikasi di antara Pasangan Pemain (Rekomendasi IMSA)

Bridge is a game of communication between a pair of players, playing in partnership, and their opposing pair. A contract is decided during the first phase, called the auction. Then the second phase involves the play of the cards and is based on information gained, together with the probabilities of card distribution.
Duplicate bridge gives a comparison of results obtained by different pairs holding the same cards, and thus no luck is involved. It is, in reality, a game of skill and judgment, a true sport.

Bridge adalah Permainan Komunikasi di antara Pasangan Pemain

Bridge adalah permainan yang dilandasi kemampuan komunikasi di antara pemain dalam satu pasangan kawan maupun lawan. Kontrak ditentukan pada tahap awal selama proses penawaran berlangsung. Setelah itu, pada tahap kedua yaitu memainkan semua kartu yang ada berdasarkan informasi yang diperoleh dan distribusi (faktor keterbagian)  kartu.

Duplikasi kartu bridge memberikan perbandingan hasil yang diperoleh pasangan dengan (distribusi) kartu yang sama. Jadi tidak ada faktor untung-untungan di dalamnya. Artinya, bridge adalah ketrampilan mengolah dan mengambil keputusan atas informasi pada distribusi kartu, benar-benar olahraga sejati.
