One common problem I find is that if one player asks a question their partner will often jump in with comments or questions of their own. Patience is a virtue (and compulsory!)

There is no UI if a comparable call is made i.e. no obligation to carefully avoid taking advantage and selecting from calls not suggested by the additional information. If a benefit does accrue then it can be taken away, but it does not restrict …

Yep - it's a pretty standard trip-up in TD simulations.

oh well i only arrow-switched the last round. working out fairness of movements is not my strong point - and i don't understand jeanie.

Let's start off by defining a couple of concepts.
Competition: Two pairs are in competition on a board if the better one does, the worse the other does.
Co-operation: Two pairs are in co-operation on a board if the better… -

No - unless the club has in their constitution that they will always apply the current EBU Blue and White Books, they would have to ratify said changes. Remember that each club is their own regulatory authority - they can say for insta…

There are situations where the Ace of trumps does not take a trick - law 67 typically. Otherwise presumably Law 85.

It is based on boards - one club I play at has played a Mitchell of 4 rounds of 6 boards - to get 24 boards in a 4-table movement - a full Howell is only 21 or 28. Ideally half the boards of the last round should be arrowswitched. This…

OK Thanks.
I tried changing the Section - and that didn't work (The program won't download section B until Section A has been downloaded, so the Bridgemates didn't receive instructions): changing the session did - and have changed the cha…

As mentioned previously, there is no such thing as an illegal bid - merely an illegal agreement. It is not permissable to have an agreement to open this hand at the one level (why not open it with 2 hearts?) but if there is no agreement then Sout…

If you play criss-cross / IMSRs then this hand should come under one of them. So my advice would be to tinker your system so you DO have a forcing Minor Suit Raise available.
Regarding the actual case. If 2 Clubs by agreement is natural t…

Will the BB/WB need amending in view of the amended/new Laws 73 and 89?

Provided he didn't observe any grimace or other inadvertent unauthorised information from East. And of course North is allowed to know that East has shown the majors, but not that South has forgotten the meaning. It is a standard part …

Hands that are limited in terms of points e.g. 12-14, 16-18, 20-21 are notoriously difficult to find a matching comparable call.
I don't know that the TD "Did not know what to do" - It depends on what 2NT means and how close it can come t…

It looks as if their agreement isn't Landy - it seems to be "5-4 in the majors or clubs" (legal at level 4, not permitted at level 2) or "5-4 in the majors but partner has been known to forget" (Why else is 3 Clubs passed? Surely West will be bid…

Well I wouldn't allow 4=1=4=4 since then there aren't two specified 4-card suits.

If you didn't see your partner's bid then that is a loss of concentration - and for further reference we have law 21A - a player has no recourse if they make a play or call based on their own misunderstanding.
So Notionally
the TD…

Looking very hard to find section 4J2(i) which is referenced in the summary of changes. Presumably 4H2(h) - and there is an extra '0' in 9A1.

a) North's explanation should be the partnership agreement (or lack of one). So if the agreement is that Stayman is on in this position North should alert and, if asked, explain the meaning.
The explanation given by South is unauthorised …

Nope - it should show something like (14)(15-17) - As long as it is clear it could be 14 points.
I would like to define my (weak) 1NT as something like "I think this hand has between 3 1/2 and 4 1/2 tricks in it" - which is how I grade my…

I have raised some points with Robin via Gordon: Specifically about Snapdragon (other suit + tolerance) and responsive (typically 5-5 in the minors or majors) doubles. Still not sure about negative doubles though. You are at the one level (1D (1S…

Not sure if that last is 100% correct. If we get a proxy call such as "Clubs - denies 3 diamonds" i.e. there are potentially unexpected meanings, then should those unexpected meanings be included in the announcement. Similarly if the 'negative do…

Well we can hope so but it is human nature in competitive events to try and push the boundaries of legality as far as they will go to gain an advantage.
-
the reason is that "Natural" only refers to a call that specifies the same denomination as that that bid. There is no requirement that the lengths of the other suit specified is such that they, too , must be "natural."
Just add the word "…

There is a bit of ambiguity in the definition of permitted length of a "Natural Suit"
Length of x Permitted
0-2 No, not “natural”
3 Only if satisfies Rule of 20
4 Only if second suit is also specified, or satisfies Rule … -
I think you should qualify them by stating "Suit" jump shifts.

So: If an unpassed partner responds 2 Spades to my 1 Heart bid, then I must announce it. (Strong forcing, strong game forcing, weak, intermediate, invitational) (not that I approve of 'invitational bids" - invitational to what?)

The movement for 8 pairs is already in EBUScore (just have to make sure I change the scoring to : teams of 8: modified IMPS)
I think I have it sussed if we only play four rounds (for synch with the teams of 8). It means of course that eac…

When defining a weak bid - should that be better written as "Below 10 points"
