:rolleyes: I know some TD's allow psychic bids..I allow them myself. However, I make one dinstinction, I require them to be alerted. My thinking on this is psychic bids are artificial bids. An artificial bid is one that is not natural for example: 2c strong is not natural and not a bid in clubs and is required to be alerted. Thus a psychic bid is not really a bid in suit, and artificial, so I require it to be alerted as such.. I know it kills the whole purpose of psychic bidding, but it seems to me this is correct thinking in interest of fair play. Do not know if this thinking is correct, but I do know the one thing any tournament requires is that all opponents has the right to know what is being bid..it is basic bridge. I would love to know what other Td's think on this subject. THANK YOU SPWDO AND PLEASE EVERYBODY PLEASE LOOK AT HELIUMS POST.
