We (Petersfield BC) have just run our first session of handicapped teams using the 0.3086 formula. It was multiple teams(9) over 24 boards, IMP scoring, and I knew the teams in advance. I calculated a handicap for each team using 60% as a datum. …

Thanks for the help.
Unfortunately the problem was that the BCS dBase was also missing the scores.
So the only place they might be was in the table-top units.
And I couldn't figure out how to get at them!
fyi It was a sing… -
We run an Improvers section, and this happens a lot.
We may schedule 21 bds (7*3) but run out of time after 18.
I can use 'Close Rounds' in BCS to cover the unplayed last round.

I believe S did continue to bid D, but I think that is exactly what he should do.
He is the one playing the 'correct' system.
If this had been played with screens, he would have continued in D.The reason I raised this is seems to have similarities to a case many years ago.

playing in a County event we arrived at a new table; all Vul.
While I was scrutinisin…NS were a very experienced pair.
And there are a number of pairs who list Pottage on their cards.

And thus the delayed Dbl (of 2H) show…I wasn't TD, but I think the weak Diamond option only came to light during the play.
So it looks like S didn't correct the mis-explanation.The problem is that North, if in hand, has to be leading a trump!
So I am not sure that really means he was aware of an outstanding trump.(Quote)I agree that most of the time the 2D will have been made as a transfer bid.
And I guess having bid NT, Opener is willing to play in that, or indeed any, suit!
But are these two factors enough to essential 'lift' a relay i…I believe the 2H was alerted.
(I was TD, and only called to the table at the end of the auction)
I think adam's description of the 2H as puppet rather than completion of transfer is a very useful distinction.
So; a puppet bid is…
