I have copies of three lawbooks. They are entitled:

"The Laws of Duplicate Contract Bridge 1987"
"The Laws of Duplicate Contract Bridge 1997"
"The Laws of Duplicate Bridge 2007"

Have we stopped playing Contract Bridge without realising it?

Or maybe we have stopped playing auction bridge and finally realised it.

There were four separate laws in the earlier thirties:
The Laws of Auction Bridge
The Laws of Contract Bridge
The Laws of Duplicate Bridge (applied to both Auction and Contract)
The Laws of Duplicate Whist

Three of them eventually lost interest and the Laws of Duplicate Bridge was reconfigured for Duplicate Contract Bridge only (and correspondingly renamed).

In 2007 WBFLC announced the renaming to The Laws of Duplicate Bridge.

The Laws of Contract Bridge remained in the 1993 edition and in the 2014 "International Laws of Contract Bridge", although the ACBL version of the latter has been renamed the "Laws of Rubber Bridge".

I think this is in the wrong forum. The name of the publication does not form part of the Laws, so this is not a change to a Law or Laws.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Is this the forum for nitpicks, then?
