I applaud the Users for self alerting. Artificial bids should be transparent. Lately there have been a rash of players that do not alert bids at all and refuse to respond to a question. 2 nights ago an opp opened a short club with no alert. I had KQTxx of clubs. Had I known it was a short club I would bid 2c either immediately or in the pass out seat when they got to 1nt. They are 2-2 in clubs and we were never given the chance to bid 2c which goes plus and gives us a couple of imps. I alerted the director and she did change it from losing 3 to losing 1.8 imps. Not sure why she wouldn't give us 2c +3 Many more examples of partnerships profitting from no alerts to be contained in this space. Virtually all go unpunished.
