  • Thanks for the replies.

    Very helpful.

  • As I always contact my players by phone if I have a problem I can confirm that you're correct about it happening during tournaments too.

    The strange thing is that it isn't actually a disconnection - the player still has an apparently live…

    It's good idea and, although I'm not on the Committee, I would hope that my Club, Altrincham, would be interested in participating.

    Double session would be a good idea - on two separate days - but single session would be ok if…

    When you say "have to allow it" what options does the TD have when someone opens an illegal 2C. It seems to me that the bid stands but is effectively a psyche so unless partner fields it the bidding is legal.

    Am I wrong?

    "Quite so. Badgering, even attempted badgering, is unacceptable. The opponents may be under a genuine misapprehension as to the information to which they are entitled, but even if you are under no such misapprehension, it…

    Hi Robin

    If 2C is ruled illegal what happens next?

    Apologies.

    West had HA73 as pointed out below.

    All play all in privately arranged matches. Score in VPs and have the top two play off in a Final. Everyone plays at least five matches. Sounds good to me.

    All agreed.

    Partner should certainly have self alerted on BBO.

    In face to face bridge I would have announced "could be two" as required by the Blue Book.

    Hi Geoff

    You defended this hand against me and my partner.

    My partner opened 1C with a 3433 13 count. We had a very complete CC registered.

    IMO partner should have self alerted 1C as it could be 2 cards but it …

    Quite right. I must be rotationally challenged.

  • That is very helpful weejonnie

    Thanks and apologies for getting EW's bids back to front.

    As you rightly pointed out it must have been E who overcalled their powerhouse S suit.

    The only problem with North believing that his…

  • Law 1 is clear
    If the board has two Spade 3s then bridge is not being played and the board should be cancelled.

    If this board has already been played then White Book 2.8.2 f indicates that a procedural penalty should be applied to a…

    BB 4B2(d) says doubles of "Suit bids that do not show the suit bid
    Alert unless the double shows the suit bid"

    So, as 2H is not a completion of the transfer but is a puppet bid which is required by this "multi" system, th…

    P.S. I meant that the thread would be in EBU TDs because most of the people who have found this forum will have found their way there.

  • Great idea to have a separate category for scoring but I also didn't notice it until I read Alan16248's post.

    Perhaps Gordon should start a thread called "Categories" and explain how they work.
