Talk:Duplicate bridge movements

We might need to collaborate a little. The last set of edits seems to reflect UK or EU POV. For example, in the U.S. arrow switches are seldom used, and the hesitation/double hesitation movements virtually unheard of. In the round of edits I put in, I didn't bother with other documented but not well-known movements -- both the appendix mitchell and 1-1/2 table appendix mitchell, for example.

I have to admit I've never seen a mitchell run with an assembly table for boards. In howells sometimes you just about have to use one depending on the movement.

Missing movements
There are some missing movements - perhaps others with more knowledge can write up: 1. https://bridgefeed.acbl.org/what-is-this-web-movement/ 2. BBO / Bridgebase Online movements, eg, clocked, unclocked, swiss. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TomTrottier (talk • contribs) 02:32, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Who and where?
The article says "The present authors prefer the following movements, described above, for normal games of 2½ to 8 tables. "
 * Who are the present authors?
 * Is this copied from some other source?
 * What organizations use this, because it is quite different from the norm in the American Contract Bridge League. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 04:03, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

Subdivide the article?
This article has gotten to be quite long, I wonder whether some of the details of the various Mitchell and Howell movements might be moved into separate articles, and shorten this article to just give summaries of them Christianbstevens (talk) 19:32, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Beginner, Intermediate or Open
Throughout the article it keeps saying that beginners should have this number of boards, intermediates that number and open players another number. That is complete twaddle. It may be true in the author's bridge club but in my club a standard session is 30 boards irrespective of the grade of the players. This is very apparent in graded tournaments where the junior players play in their own section whilst the open players play the identical boards against open players in their section. For sure during beginners' lessons the number of boards is restricted but they are lessons not sessions. We should not be parochial and declare the practice in one club (or even one country) to be universal. OrewaTel (talk) 07:07, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
