Club Manager's and Club Director's Handbooks
The two reference handbooks that document club operating procedures and directing responsibilities, with direct download links.
ACBL publishes two core reference documents for the people who run club games. Keep both on hand.
- Club Manager's Handbook — the operating guide for running a sanctioned club: sanctions, sessions, fees, reporting, and member service.
- Club Director's Handbook — the directing reference: conducting the game, applying the Laws, and handling situations at the table.

These documents are the authoritative source when a policy or ruling question comes up; consult them rather than relying on memory.
