This is a subjective assessment and it is up to the sponsoring organisation, in this case presumably the TD, to assess whether a call is a psychic call. I would not have judged this to be a psych (and know of few that would). However, you now know one TD who does. Of course banning psychic calls of natural calls is against the Laws, but I guess this is irrelevant. You pays your money (or not) and make your choice of whose tournaments to play in. Paul ACCORDING THE RULES OF THE BBOFANS TOURNEYS A PSYCHOLOGICAL BID IS FORBIDDEN. A 9 POINT HAND IN FIRST POSITION CANNOT BE CONSIDERED AS A NORMAL OPENING AND IF YOU USE AS I DO THAT NOT 70ֵPERCENT OF THE PLAYERS OF THE DECLARERS LEVEL WILL OPEN 1H THEN THEIR IS NO OTHER CHOICE THEN CONSIDERING THIS AS A PSYCHOLOGICAL BID. 2 POINTS I WANT TO ADD 1. I PROPOSED SEVERAL TIMES TO FORM A BBO APPEAL COMMITTEE ESPECIALLY FOR THESE SORT OF TD INTERPRETATIONS. 2.I SAW A COMMENT WITH PERSONAL ATTACK AND I THINK THAT IS NOT THE RIGHT PLACE
