Gordon and I will have to agree to disagree. In both my clubs, 90% of pairs know exactly what their 2NT range is. Any occasional scratch pairs will invariably assume the default Acol range of 20-22. I have never come across a pair in any doubt. As a…

I disagree with Jeremy69 that 1NT openers are more variable. Maybe it's the circles I mix in or the level I play at but I play at two clubs and, with the exception of one Precision pair, everyone plays 12-14 NT. It's the same in the local league. 2…

Did I read that right? You no longer announce the point range of a 2NT opener? Why on earth not? Maybe 80% of club players play 2NT as 20-22. The Benji folk often play it as 19-20 or just 20 but without an announcement, most club players are just…

It was a match played online with no TD in attendance. In actual fact, it didn't worry me too much as we got a good result. The reason for my post was to clarify the legal position should anything similar occur in the future when I am directing.

Thanks for the comments. To clarify, this was online using RealBridge and partner alerts. It was an ordinary club pairs session. Many club members were never particularly fastidious at having a convention card when we played face-to-face (despite mu…

@Frances said:> But why was he logged on twice, and "looking at the other screen" while bidding a hand? If this happened repeatedly, I would be fining him (PP) for not payi…

I just upload the RealBridge XML directly and resolve any name mismatches at upload time.
Just a quick plug, as well as being TD, I'm a software developer with my own Bridge scoring software (predating EBUScore by several decades). With … -
Re stop, on RealBridge it's automatic. Any jump bid and the system automatically displays a Stop card and next player doesn't get to see his bidding box until after a significant pause.
Personally, I would love to see the end of stop cards in … -
Their card only showed one range for a 1NT overcall, despite the standard EBU layout offering the opportunity to distinguish immediate from otherwise. Without the 1H response, you are in the protective position (also true after a single raise and…

PS, my D and colon seems to have been turned into an emoticon. Please don't read any significance into this.

OK, so I do have to uninstall and reinstall. I have to say, as a software developer with 40 years experience in the industry, that architecture is dreadful. Windows has insisted on separating code and data (for very good reasons of security) for …

My club has recently migrated from BridgeTabs to ScoreSheet. OK, I'll come clean. I wrote the ScoreSheet Android app but I didn't influence my club to take it on. Advantages are that it's cheaper, plus has some extra useful features such as flashing…

Thanks all.
PBCchair: perhaps I overstated it to say he complained. It was more a friendly debate. At the the end of the board, knowing I was one of the club directors, he suggested I should have alerted it because of the (to him) unexpecte…
