I have been having a lot of fun with the Skeleton system (bare bones!) for over a year. Its lack of conventions has not hurt more than its benefits, to my surprise. I need a BBO partner for it. I am ACBL Life Master No. 1023. Potential partners should e-mail me with their qualifications, mfrench1@san.rr.com

The pros sitting E-W have other ways to gain information. For the first part of the game they can listen to any N-S comments about the round just played when they come to the table, for those are boards they will meet later. They can also glance at the N-S score card, for it is often lying face up for anyone to see. The careless N-S pairs may be aware that any information gained and utilized by E-W will harm other N-S pairs and thus benefit them.

This is not the meaning of "double shot," but let that go. Calling the Director after the end of play when an earlier irregularity is revealed is perfectly acceptable, and "not waking up" does not change that.
