    ACBL Computer Based Cheating Detection - EDGAR
    As efforts to eliminate cheating online continue, we find some friends swept up in the process. Many people have many questions. What is it? How does it work? What do I do if I am charged? And many more.

    In order to help our members understand the online bridge cheating detection policies and methods, here is a reference with relevant information from the ACBL Bylaws, ACBL Codification, and EDGAR from Bridge Winners (where the best descritpino of how EDGAR works has been published).  Note: the information presented here is a convenience for our members.  The ACBL, EDGAR and Institute for Bridge Arbitration have final authoritative say in their part of the disciplinary process.
