                                                        _________________        HELPFUL HINTS INVOLVING MIRROR MITCHELLS      Duplicate the boards before the East West pairs 
    exchange sections.      After the pairs cross sections, they can check 
    the duplication before      passing the boards.  This should avoid any 
    fouled boards.      With the exception of eighteen and twenty six 
    tables, the game is      started with the same board movement you would 
    use for a pair game,      i.e, in both sections, boards down one with an 
    even number of tables      and down two with an odd number of tables.      With two nine (18) or thirteen (26) table 
    sections move both sections      counting the duplication round as Round 1, 
    i.e., in the regular      Mitchell boards move down one, players up one; 
    and in the Mirror      boards move down two, players down one.      If floor duplication is used, 9 or 13 rounds 
    can be played.      Anytime there is a skip in the Mitchell 
    section, there is also a skip      in the Mirror Mitchell.  When the skip is 
    called, the pairs in the      Mitchell section move up two and the boards 
    down one.  In the Mirror      Mitchell section, the pairs move down two and 
    the boards down three.        MIRROR MITCHELL FOR EIGHTEEN TABLES USING HAND 
    RECORDS      Arrange two nine table sections, one designated 
    the Mitchell section      and the other designated the Mirror Mitchell 
    section. Before play      begins, the East West players exchange sections 
    going to the      corresponding table. Place 3 boards on each 
    table.  Play eight 3 board      rounds.      MOVEMENTS OF PAIRS AND BOARDS      MITCHELL SECTION      To begin Round 1 -- East West pairs exchange 
    sections going to the                          same table number.  Pairs 
    move up one - Boards                          move down one.      "   "    Rounds 2 thru 8 -- Pairs move up one - 
    Boards move down one.      MIRROR MITCHELL SECTION      To begin Round 1 -- East West pairs exchange

          BOARD-A-MATCH MOVEMENTS      (Excellent charts for Team of Four games can be 
    found in Groner's      DUPLICATE BRIDGE DIRECTION.)        The several types of team of four movements are 
    described below:        A. STANDARD      N/S pairs remain stationary and move the boards 
    to the next lower      table, E/W pairs skip a table toward the lower 
    numbers.  To start the      game have the E/W pairs make their first move 
    and distribute the      boards starting with the second set on table #1 
    and ending with the      first set on the highest numbered table.  (A 
    set of boards means all      the boards played at a given table during one 
    round.  Thus, a set may      consist of 2, 3, 4 or more boards.)        B. MIRROR MITCHELL      For this movement one needs two sections of 
    equal size.  To start the      game have the E/W pairs go into the other 
    section and sit down at the      table which has the same number as their pair 
    number.  Either one of      the sections plays a straight Mitchell movement 
    (N/S stationary, E/W      next higher, boards next lower).  In the other 
    section E/W pairs move      to the next lower table and N/S pairs remain 
    stationary and move the      boards two tables toward the lower numbers.  If 
    there is a skip in the      Mitchell, then, at the time of the skip, the 
    E/W pairs in the Mirror      must skip a table lower and the boards must 
    skip two tables lower.  Of      course, the boards must be duplicated between 
    the two sections.  The      first set of boards starts on table #1 in each 
    section.        C. NEW ENGLAND RELAY      This movement is very good for small team games 
    with an even number of      tables.  Starting with 2X teams, line the 
    tables up in two parallel      rows with table #1 opposite table X+1, table 
    two opposite table X+2,      etc., ending with table X opposite table 2X.  
    The tables opposite each      other relay constantly throughout the game.  
    E/W pairs move to the      next lower numbered table.  There are 2X sets 
    of boards in play which      are distributed with set two on table one, set 
    three at a bye-stand      between tables one and two, set four on table 
    two, set five on a      bye-stand between tables two and three, etc., 
    ending with set 2X on      table X and the first set on a bye-stand behind 
    table X.  For example,      with six teams the set up is:        1  2 3    Tables 1 and 4 relay, as do 2 and 5,                3 and 6.  E/W pairs make their first      4  5 6    move and boards are distributed as                follows:      Set 2 goes to the 1 - 4 relay      Set 3 goes to the bye-stand between 1 and 2      Set 4 goes to the 2 - 5 relay      Set 5 goes to the bye-stand between 2 and 3      Set 6 goes to the 3 - 6 relay      Set 1 goes to the bye-stand behind table 3        The boards move from a relay to the next lower 
    bye-stand and from a      bye-stand to the next lower relay.

          SUGGESTED MOVEMENTS FOR ONE SESSION 
    BOARD-A-MATCH TEAM GAMES       "RTM" = (Regular team movement): boards move 
    lower, E/W skips lower      2-10-2:  RTM except that after two rounds, E/W 
    skips two tables lower.      After twelve rounds, E/W skips two tables lower 
    and the boards skip      one table lower.      MM (Mirror Mitchell): Used when there are two 
    sections of the same      size. To start, E/W pairs switch sections at 
    the same table number.      First section (Mitchell) plays a straight 
    Mitchell movement. Second      section (Mirror) moves boards down two tables 
    and E/W pairs move to      next lower table after each round.  If there is 
    a skip in the      Mitchell, then, at the time of the skip, the 
    E/W pairs in the Mirror      must skip a table lower and the boards must 
    skip two tables lower.      RELAY: For the last round, send the E/W pairs 
    to the N/S pair that      they skipped and relay a set of boards between 
    the two tables as if it      were a Swiss team.      EDITING IS REQUIRED TO USE THE FOLLOWING
