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?)
Presumabl…

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"
-
"Doubles are only to be announced as a proxy for another suit on the first round of bidding."
it may be useful to add in "(i.e. not the suit being doubled)" to make this clear. (assuming this is the intention) or auctions such as 1NT - P …

I don't think that was a "minor secondary benefit" since major championships have been won by players using the position of the board as a means of communication.
(If there are 11 tables, is the 'top' always 20 (penalty 5) or, if there we…

I don't think that the requirement is "every bridge player knows". Every true bridge player might do, but there is a significant minority that don't. I don't think we can quantify it, but I would say that if you would expect an NGS pla…

I would have passed, expecting there to be more bidding with only nine points - and with 13 spades distributed around the other three hands. I suspect that if so, I might have been disappointed.

Maybe it would be a good idea for the EBU editors of the blue and white book to have some input from the average/ below average player. What may be 'general bridge knowledge' to Frances, David, Gordon and Robin may not be "general bridge knowledg…

On MyEBU for NOE - one seems to be the allocation of green points, the other shows the percentages.
-
Ok that worked - two sessions now appear - one is the green point allocation the other is the result - but it says "boards unknown"
Do I upload the individual sessions as well?
-
Not much literature on them! I tried using the EBU Scale GP rank award filling in just Strat A
Top: 3.5 (I think that is right for TOE of 27)
Lowest: 0.25
Percent of field - 93.33% (to get 14 pairs awarded GP)Which ge…

I suppose they have - but under 16C they can't make use of it and they "may not" choose a call or play suggested by the information if there is a logical alternative - and if they do the TD can restore enquiry (and penalise the OS for …

A nice point: and in accordance with BB@B and 74A1

We can always gripe - for instance one hand the robot asked me to pick a strain at the slam level so I (with 9 spades) decided spades looked the best option - bot then corrected me to 6NT. However I think gripes about BBO Bots, which are as old …

OK Thanks - Might run a dummy event and see what happens but you've given me some useful advice,
-
Thanks for the info regarding files - I checked the option "open file" and after the file (failed) to be sent to bridgewebs it opened up in notepad - which I then saved with the appropriate suffix.
I got results from each section appearin…

Which is a bit harsh since the problem was caused by South breaching Law 20 (entitlement to know methods). Maybe AV-,AV- if you feel nasty (penalising them for not calling the TD) or AV, AV (both sides partially at fault).
-
Personally I don't think there is a logical alternative to bidding 3 hearts - no matter how you look at it South's 6-2 heart fit is going to produce more tricks than any spade fit (assume 5-2 as being the best) as otherwise the South hand is usel…

In the above case the lead restrictions are as follows:-
Offender MUST play the 6S at the first legal opportunity - whether in leading, following suit, discarding. Failure to do so is another revoke.
When offender's partner obtain…

Thanks - clever idea: Will make use of it if we drop to five. (although it will be 45 boards with 36 played)

Can't seem to work out a double pivot for 5 teams - I don't think there can be one. Closest is a compacted American Whist with a Pivot after round 2.
-
OK
I actually worked out using a long triples, a single round, then two more rounds, with shared boards. I need two breaks and this enables me to break after two rounds and three rounds. It also means players can discuss the boards when t…

If 1 Diamond could be Michaels then 2NT would be comparable as it has a similar meaning attributable to the insufficient bid
-
No solution - but this seems to happen sometimes during tournaments although it may be the player is answering a call of nature or something - but they NEVER put in BRB or whatever.
-
Well it seems to be working now (touch wood) - seemed to require setting the value i.e. it was appearing but hadn't been set by the installation programme,.
-
Ok - thanks - yes I know about those - but wasn't sure if anything else had to be done.

EW got to 3NT going off: Scoring 4 out of 14. 2 Clubs making scores better.

North opens 1 heart: East overcalls 1 Spade: South passes: West doubles their partner's 1 Spade bid
North (or South) says in effect that you can't do this and asks West to change their call - South changes their call to 2 clubs. North pas…
-
Well all you have to do is change your 4+ diamonds to 5+ diamonds and then you are OK. (You can further restrict a call that otherwise qualifies)
My own opinion is that the bid is too wide ranging to accurately defend: I would also wonder…
