The WBF definition of ‘Weak’ does not specify a lower limit. Why then should we assume it to be no less than 5 or 6 points.
-
Why can’t players be asked or required to use the ‘confirm bids’ and ‘confirm plays’ options, so as to avoid the need for undos.

I am also trying to upload the scores from BBO to EBUScore. I created the XML file but cannot find the 'import from XML' button. Can you please tell me where it is?

Do we need a law to mention/describe intent? Would it not be logical to say that a player holding his cards in one hand and picking one with the fingers of the other hand and putting it on the table has placed the card on the table int…

If a card dropping on the table is to be considered detached by the action of the player not holding on to it tightly enough, thereby becoming a played card under Law 45A, then it should follow that there is no such thing as a card 'dr…

Would it not be acceptable to describe the double as 'shows values', without having to be specific about the number of HCP? 'Values' can be HCP or a long trick-taking suit. The bidder has 'something', he's not blank.

I had a disagreement on a similar issue at the County Directors Course.
Declarer (or defender, although it was a declarer in my example) plays a card, plucking it out of his hand and placing it on the table. Simultaneously a card drops fr…

Thanks.

This discussion has become based on 16248's post referring to a 2NT overcall being alerted as 'No agreement'. But if there is no agreement about a bid being conventional, should it be alerted at all?

Thanks Barrie.
Am taking this up after a delay as I was away playing a major tournament.
So if North makes a clear statement 'No agreement' then the opponents have to shoot in the dark, so to speak. C'est la vie?

Thanks for the helpful responses.

A defective trick according to Law 67 is one where a player has omitted to play to a trick. In this case declarer's RHO has not omitted to play to the trick, he was thinking about what card to play and obviously had every intention to …

Partner will not get a chance to bid because he has to pass whenever it is his turn to call.

Many thanks Gordon.

Is it permissible for a 3NT opening bid to be described by partner as 'To Play'?

Even if three passes have been made, why can't the opponent who passed last take back his pass and double after being told about the misunderstanding? That was my question, because the Commentary says he can't. What is implied in the C…

Adjust to what, since North is not allowed to double because, as the Commentary says, neither North nor South are entitled to double.
In this example the offending side have not remained quiet, they have admitted to the erroneo…

There is in fact a cross reference in the Commentary, but it is a little confusing. It reads "The TD has to understand that Law 29A does not supersede Law 28B. The choice to take one's proper turn when on the offender's left, does not…

May seem harsh, but it is North's partner who has saddled him (north) with the problem by accepting East's bid out of turn. You can't expect relief from your partner's actions!

As Gordon says, the 2D bid shows some values, should normally be at least game invitational if a fit is found, but does not say anything about any suit holding unless a partnership has some special understanding, which would be disclosed and cou…

The Commentary on the Laws clarifies this. See Law 28 on page 21.

The correct defender calling the director could itself be a source of UI to his partner that something was amiss.

Thank you all. I had not considered the effects of change of dealer and possible change of vulnerability, which do not happen with an arrow switch. My bad!

Thanks for drawing my attention to the reference to the Correction Period. With the reference being in parenthesis my eyes appear to have passed over it without reading it. Looked but did not see!

Maybe South thought that his partner had bid 4D as a Texas Transfer to H in the belief that it is applicable to 2NT opening bids.
What I would like to ask South is, 'If you thought your partner's 4D bid looks like a transfer, wha… -
In South's mind, having taken the 4D bid as a transfer, how would North have bid if he had 5 hearts and 4, more likely 5, diamonds?
