Then bid the massive playing strength AND don't show 18-21 HCP. Or take partner out since no 18-21 HCP. I don't see the problem either. Are we going to define: - MASSIVE playing strength - not so MASSIVE playing strength - minimally MASSIVE playing strength and call each some number of HCP?

haha johnu. nobody does.

west does not have 10+ needed for 3c so passes. east assumes 4333 so passes since 24/23 hcp total. par for the GUBBO course. oft-quoted "we are all in the same boat".

It appears such excessive egregiousness occurs in IMP/MP tournament formats where I am assuming many many tables are being served simultaneously. I think GUBBO is out of resources - e.g. searches the bidding table and randomly picks from the choices. In moneybridge less egregious especially at Highest Skill/Slowest Speed. But nobody agrees it is a resource problem.

haha johnu

agree. is why i said "if"

GUBizarre. Though not the first time.

if can bid 3S - I have max 2s on bidding - surely can bid 4c [hv=http://www.bridgebase.com/tools/handviewer.html?lin=pn%7CVirgosRock%2CDBBBX%2CRobotN%2CRobotE%7Cst%7C%7Cmd%7C3S5H6JAD24JKC69TKA%2CS79AH28QKD89TAC5J%2CS238JQH49D37C378Q%2C%7Crh%7C%7Cah%7CBoard 5%7Csv%7Cn%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7C1C%7Can%7CMinor suit opening -- 3%2B %21C%3B 11-21 HCP%3B %7Cmb%7Cd%7Can%7CTakeout double -- 2- %21C%3B 3-5 %21D%3B 3-4 %21H%3B%7Cmb%7C1S%7Can%7CFree bid%3B new suit -- 4%2B %21S%3B 11- HCP%3B 8-12 total points %7Cmb%7C2H%7Can%7CFree bid%3B new suit -- 4%2B %21H%3B 11- HCP%3B 6-12 total points %7Cmb%7C3D%7Can%7C4%2B %21C%3B 4%2B %21D%3B 3- %21S%3B 21- HCP%3B 17-22 tota%7Cmb%7C3H%7Can%7C4%2B %21H%7Cmb%7C3S%7Can%7C11- HCP%3B rebiddable %21S%3B 8-12 total points %7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cpg%7C%7Cpc%7CC4%7Cpc%7CC6%7Cpc%7CCJ%7Cpc%7CCQ%7Cpg%7C%7Cpc%7CD3%7Cpc%7CD5%7Cpc%7CDJ%7Cpc%7CDA%7Cpg%7C%7Cpc%7CHK%7Cpc%7CH4%7Cpc%7CH5%7Cpc%7CH6%7Cpg%7C%7Cpc%7CC5%7Cpc%7CC3%7Cpc%7CC2%7Cpc%7CCA%7Cpg%7C%7Cpc%7CDK%7Cpc%7CD9%7Cpc%7CD7%7Cpc%7CD6%7Cpg%7C%7Cpc%7CD4%7Cpc%7CD8%7Cpc%7CS2%7Cpc%7CDQ%7Cpg%7C%7Cpc%7CH9%7Cpc%7CHT%7Cpc%7CHA%7Cpc%7CH2%7Cpg%7C%7Cpc%7CHJ%7Cpc%7CHQ%7Cpc%7CS3%7Cpc%7CH7%7Cpg%7C%7Cpc%7CC7%7Cpc%7CS4%7Cpc%7CCK%7Cpc%7CDT%7Cpg%7C%7Cpc%7CS6%7Cpc%7CS5%7Cpc%7CSA%7Cpc%7CS8%7Cpg%7C%7Cpc%7CH8%7Cpc%7CSJ%7Cpc%7CH3%7Cpc%7CC9%7Cpg%7C%7Cpc%7CSQ%7Cpc%7CSK%7Cpc%7CD2%7Cpc%7CS7%7Cpg%7C%7Cpc%7CST%7Cpc%7CCT%7Cpc%7CS9%7Cpc%7CC8%7Cpg%7C%7C%0A%0A]399|300[/hv]

Is the issue here that GUBBO passed a drury 2c? Also, whenever one passes p-p-1x-p-1y-p-p-1/2y the 1y assumes 4 card support and takes another bid. Seen it many times.

methinks only the bidding table is being fixed, if that. fixing defense has been static for many many years.
