Hi Helene

As far as I am aware (which might not be very far – so I stand to be corrected)

The same rules apply to on-line and f2f bridge

There was a “Guide to on-line bridge” issued last year I think
I can’t lay my hands on it right now but, from memory, it only said what was flaming obvious and could be summarised in two words: “Don’t cheat”

Clubs are not allowed to ban all psyches, except they may restrict (or ban) psyches of artificial bids (which NZB does) See Law 40B2(v)

As for what systems may be used at what level that is in the Manual
But I understand clubs MAY apply further restrictions provided contestants are aware of such restriction from the start (which means making that clear on the tournament poster).

[I was involved in an interesting situation on this issue 3 years ago (don’t think its worth going into detail here)]

I hope this is some help
and if anyone sees anything wrong here please reply indicating how you see it
