A Bridge Director is the person who facilitates and coordinates the smooth progression of play and applies the laws of the game in a competitive bridge game. The Bridge Director can participate in the game or act as a referee overseeing from the sidelines.  Another word for Bridge Director is Tournament Director (TD) and he or she will either be a volunteer or a professional hired on a permanent, regular or one-off basis.

A good director has learned the laws and has a network of contacts made up of players of varying standards and other directors (TDs) with whom to consult on matters of law and logistics. Bridge is an unregulated game. Some national authorities claim dominance over organised play, but there is a much wider community of players who meet regularly to play bridge in private competitive games in most corners of the globe.

No matter how small the game of bridge event that is taking place, if it is well run there is an excellent, hard working bridge director somewhere in the vicinty.
