How about Law 12C3
"In individual events the Director enforces the
rectifications in these Laws, and the provisions
requiring the award of adjusted scores, equally
against both members of the offending side even

Not sure that "BBO does not allow this" is correct. On another thread "Who's at Fault" Martin says that for long issues he usually extends the round so that the boards can be finished. So it would appear that any director on BBO can extend the …

If you have 3 sitting pairs and one pair is more able than the others you can set 2 sitting pairs to play each other on the first round. This may be important when you don't have many tables, better to be prepared than have a problem later in th…

Following on from Davids' final comment April16th
1) It would appear that most years the UM is increased by a penny (there are some moans but usually the increase is voted through). If the manner of charging is going to be a set figure (…

Hi David
Thank you to you and the board of YCBA for taking the time to make your report. Most of which I understand and frankly agree with. I got lost on the schedule of stats but I think that may be because I couldn't fathom the format o… -
How about Law 16 C 1 & 2 ?
-
Thank you very much Paul. Good to know. At the time it was panic stations and only after having a chance to mull it over I thought of the possibilities.
-
Yes will do next time things go pear shaped but my thoughts were that the data file for the hands might be append rather than overwrite. Do you have to delete the Hand data base and if so where is it? So, if someone has done it, it is helpful to…

I think Robin covered this aspect on another tread, "Illegal Bids" when he said
"Opponents should be reminded that bids are not "illegal" (if in turn and sufficient, etc.), it is understandings/agreements that are "illegal" (not permitted).… -
Roger I just feel I need more information.
In your second sentence you say "You know, and are reminded " So how do I know? Was I the partner in the example given?
Also what was the double? What did it show? What were the four Spades … -
Jaded in some respects I can see where you are coming from but even Law 84D says " If in his judgement
it is probable that a non-offending side has been damaged by an irregularity for which these laws provide no rectification he adjusts th… -
I have a feeling that Law 60 C comes into play. Rectification of the opening lead out of turn has to be decided from the five options by the deemed declarer. Once the declarer has been decided then the rectification of the 5D has to be sorted. So…
-
Hi Roger not sure I am fully with you on all bar the last two paragraphs. I think Robin has already answered your question in that "bids are not "illegal" (if in turn and sufficient, etc.), it is understandings/agreements that are "illegal" (not …

Hi Roger
Are you saying that the Ace of diamonds was faced, out of turn and then a few seconds later the 5 of Diamonds was led by the deemed leader before the irregularity was dealt with by the director? Or did the 5 of diamonds appear afte… -
"Psychic bids are, by their very nature, probably illegal should you agree that the hand might be what you actually have. " So you do agree with Jaded then?
-
ais523 I understand your comment. However, experience tells me that once players start touching quitted tricks you cannot depend on what they are saying. We don't have information from the OP to say exactly what took place. It could be that they…
-
Sorry Robin I might have the wrong end of the stick but I took the OP to mean that the partnership agreement was 15-17 Balanced and that opener had decided to open with 15-17 HCPs and 5440. Admittedly opener doesn't seem to have corrected the ann…
-
Very interesting subject and I think it will take a book to help understand it. As I see it the problem is that the laws and regulations discuss agreements (actual and implicit). As directors we don't always know if there is an implicit agreemen…
-
Hi Ian. I think we need a little more information. For instance was the trick count agreed before North found they had a card left? What was the agreed trick count (did declarer make the contract or go down). Was North Declarer? Dummy? or a defen…
-
There would appear to be a problem with the cards. Tables 2, 1, 7 and 6 seem to have a declarer matching the lead card (first 4 rounds). Table 5 South can't be in 2NT and get a 10 Diamond lead. Table 4 North can't be in 2 Spades and get a lead of…
-
I wonder if the guidance in the White book 8.16.7 would have any inference as to how the WBF might be thinking about "a pause", as indicated in White book 8.73.2 [both paragraphs].

Hi David, Gordon and Jonathan
If the file is the same on EBUScore and BCS then I think it has something to do with the EBU database. We have one member that also does not appear on the Bridgemates like your player. They have played 4 times… -
Hi David
I am not sure but I think it depends on how EBUScore and Bridgemate Control Software (BCS) link to the "BMPlayerDB.mdb" file. I assume the person who does not get named on the Bridgemates is fairly new to the club. I suspect tha…

Hi Tom
Do you get an error message on the laptop? Is it the same on each occasion? How old are your cards?
-
So in the next round two pairs are denied the opportunity to score 100% on one board through no fault of their own. Yes you and I realise that over the evening that is likely to be only about 1 to 2% on their overall score.(even if they might get…
-
An interesting thread which raises one or two thoughts on what has been said so far.
Jaded I don't think I can answer your request to "I would be interested to hear any arguments against, particularly as dummy can receive a warning for not … -
Slow play is and always will be a problem at sometime for every club and every playing director. Trying to crack a nut with a sledgehammer never works. There is a good paper on this at
in Slow play (again) Comment by CMOT_Dibbler October 2023 -
Cracking! worked like a charm.
Best wishes -
Thank you, Mr "Life Saver". Will give it a go later today. Sorry my OP was a bit of a ramble but had tried several things without success and was begining to regret finding anything wrong!
Many thanks -
Probably wrong but I would say that it is a mistaken call (2C by E) Law 75C as it would seem that the explanation by West is as per system card. Therefore there is no infraction and 75D3 would not apply.
Now East has UI (alert and explana…
