  1. When I set up a table, I just turn on all the privacy options. (Move the slider all the way to the right). We never get time warnings.
  2. Thanks to all for your thoughtful and insightful replies :)
  3. Hello This is a situation that came up recently. My partner opened 1NT (16-18). RHO overcalled 2D, and I bid 2H, intended as a transfer to spades. P did not treat it as a transfer, so I did a little research, and found that in Standard American, systems are OFF after opps interfere. We transfer only to the majors. The way I would play it is systems are ON. Here is my reasoning: Case 1: 1 NT – (2C)-?; Easy. Club bid will not affect the transfer bids, so transfers are on. Case 2: 1 NT – (2 D)- ? : Also easy. Double is transfer to H, and 2H –> 2 S. Case 3: 1 NT – (2 H)- ? : X is transfer to Spades. The transfer to Hearts is out, but so what? Opps outrank you! Case 4: 1 NT – ( 2 S or higher): Transfers are automatically off. The advantage to having systems always on, IMHO, is it’s easy to remember as long as you have discussed X for “stolen” bids, and you retain the advantage of some transfers, if not all, being available. In other words Systems always ON when P bids a strong NT. Are there any disadvantages? Any discussion? Comments ?
