Well you just need to accept that if you only ever ask when you have an interest in acting, this will give your partner UI and may limit their options.

Rather than starting by invoking sanctions, we would be happy to discuss this further with the club or TD.

Yes, she (I think you meant East rather than West) can pass but this will bar her partner from bidding for the rest of the auction.
Note that in cases where it is a call out of rotation rather than an insufficient bid, the equivalent proh…

This would tell us nothing, since it would be based on the formats used under the current UMS arrangements, not on the formats that might be adopted under a changed system.
-
I think you should be less specific than saying "she could PASS" and might say "she could make any call except double..."
-
An alert tells you that the call has a meaning you might not expect and therefore you should ask. The conventional wisdom in England (but not in many other places) over many years that you should only ask if you intend to act, is simply wrong! Th…

Another possibility is to run it as multiple teams if you get an odd number of teams - 8x2x3-board rounds give you a six-board match against each team, which can be VPd and match-won awards given.
-
First of all I'm not sure how you get a triple with 10 teams! However, assuming you mean 9 teams, the usual arrangement is that teams don't play in the triple more than once and the triple set of boards is used for each match in the session. If y…

Agreement to the concession had not been established so we are still in Law 70 and the TD determines a result consistent with the original claim statement - ie simply the statement that they were conceding a trick. If there is no normal line tha…

As long as 2C simply asks for four-card majors and the only agreed responses are 2D, 2H, 2S, then announcing it as Stayman is sufficient.

I'm not sure why it is desirable for 16 board games to be charged the same as 30 board games, and for 36 board games to be charged twice the amount of 35 board games. It is certainly the case that at present some clubs will run a special game as …
-
The important point is that they would not be charged for 30 boards but for 16, which would be less than at present.
-
Two quick points: 30 boards in play of which 16 are played by each pair does not meet the 70% rule. The proposal is that the payment per board is for the number of boards played by each pair, not the number in the movement. Yes, it would charge f…

If you managed to set up the game in the first place, surely you could set up another new game and just abandon the first one?
To change the existing game, change the movement to the one you want. Then go to the Bridgemate page in EBUScor…
-
Are you using EBUScore? If this happened before the start of the game and no-one knew what to do, did you not think of just starting a new game?
-
You are allowed to deviate from your agreements, but that doesn't mean you can present your de facto agreement as though it were a deviation.
-
It looks good to me, but you have 2C/2D repeated.

I don't think I've come across a 2-suited weak 2NT opening in about 10 years and I would be very surprised if anyone who played them didn't know they had to be alerted.
-
It's not that the strength of the bid can't vary, but that the desire to bid over it is usually not affected by that strength.
ais523's reasoning is too deep for me!
Let's not forget that we went for a long time without 2NT bid st…

It sounds like you resolved them by asking the players, which will usually be the case.

I've never seen a situation where someone needed to know this. Do you think that people are more likely to bid sub-strength games when the points are more unevenly divided? That seems to be what you are saying, unless I misunderstand.<…

It seems hard to imagine that none of four players, of whatever level, would be unable to remember how they failed to take the ace of trumps.
-
Do you mean the score is not possible, or you consider the result to be impossible?
-
A card accidentally dropped on the table by declarer is not played and can be picked up.
And a non-honour card dropped accidentally by a defender only becomes a minor penalty card, which does not need to be played at once.

I'm not certain what the original question is asking. Whether the card that was led is UI or the fact that his partner has no cards in that suit?
