Transfer and rebid 2NT shows a 5 card major and a 4 card minor and is forcing to game. Transfer and jump to a major game is a slam try. 001NP2H=YNNNNNNA08Transfer. Transfer and rebid 2NT shows a 5 card major and a 4 card minor and is forcing to game. Transfer and jump to a major game is a slam try. 001NP2S=YNNNNNN408We play this as an invitational-plus hand. Simply put, a hand that wants to go to game with most decent 1NT openers. This also denies a 4 card major. Opener will pass with an absolute minimum and major stoppers. 001NP2SP2N=NNNNNNN1Min. 001NP2SP2NP4C=YNNNNNN7085!H and 3!S slam invitational 001NP2SP2NP4D=YNNNNNN7085!S and 3!H slam invitational 001NP2SP2NP4H=NNNNNNND085!H and 3!S slam Forcing. 001NP2SP2NP4S=YNNNNNND085!S and 3!H slam Forcing. 001NP2SP3CP4C=YNNNNNN7085!H and 3!S slam invitational 001NP2SP3CP4D=YNNNNNN7085!S and 3!H slam invitational 001NP2SP3CP4H=NNNNNNND085!H and 3!S slam Forcing. 001NP2SP3CP4S=YNNNNNND085!S and 3!H slam Forcing. 001NP2SP3DP4C=YNNNNNN7085!H and 3!S slam invitational 001NP2SP3DP4D=YNNNNNN7085!S and 3!H slam invitational 001NP2SP3DP4H=NNNNNNND085!H and 3!S slam Forcing. 001NP2SP3DP4S=YNNNNNND085!S and 3!H slam Forcing. 001NP2N=YNNNNNN4This is an invitational-minus hand. Opener will go to game with a maximum (ie. 15 points). We use our discretion in these bids, but have found them useful for showing a very specific type of hand. 001NP3C=YNNNNNNB08Puppet Stayman. 001NP3CP3D=NNNNNNN008Denies 5 card major and have one 4 card major. 001NP3CP3DP3H=YNNNNNNB084 card !S 001NP3CP3DP3S=NNNNNNNB084 card !H 001NP3CP3DP3N=NNNNNNNBBoth 4 card !H and !S. 001NP3CP3N=NNNNNNN0Denies both 4 and 5 card Majors. 001NP3CP3H=NNNNNNN355 5 card !H 001NP3CP3S=NNNNNNN355 5 card !S 001NP3D=YNNNNNN508This shows a hand with 5!H and 3!S. We have found this makes it much easierto find a fit, rather than just transferring to our 5 card heart suit. Opener could have 5 spades or 4/5 hearts. 001NP3H=YNNNNNN533This shows a hand with 5!S and 3!H. These are generally difficult hands to bid, as you don't just want to transfer to spades in case your partner has 5 hearts. 001NP3S=YNNNNNN708Minor suit slam try. Opener bids a minor with slam interest and 3NT without. 001NP3N=NNNNNNN3A hand with no interest in a major. Often we will not bid Puppet Stayman with just a 3 card major if our hand is very flat, or if we don't want to give anything away, and feel that 3NT is a better contract. 001NP4C=YNNNNNND08Gerber. 001NP4D=YNNNNNNA08Texas transfer to 4!H.

Play or defend type hands should be selected and pre-dealt. Final contract is established with various bidding shown. Everyone plays or defend same contract. This will allow to improve the playing and defense skill. Recommend at least once a week, in club games or on-line tournament games. This will lure lot of players who does not like the bidding portion of the bridge. Bidding is complex to start with. Once the players get used to playing freely for various contracts, then bidding portion is introduced. This is how I learned to play Bridge. I think, playing comfortably to play the hand is more important before learning the bidding process.

During the middle of the game while playing the hands, declarer ask questions to the defender regarding the discarding methods and agreements. Is it allowed to explain during the middle of playing hands at the time of first or second discards? Secondly, can the declarer ask the meaning of a defender's bid made while playing the middle of the hands?

Partnership agreement was to transfer to the next higher suit. My partner debated in his mind to transfer to 2♦ suit and decided to pass because of insufficient value. East bids 3♣. In fact, it was to play 3♣ per their agreement. I thought, 3♣ bid was for 3NT invitation without looking at their agreement. To get proper defense for 3NT contract, I bid 3♠, I wanted ♠ lead to have a chance to defeat 3NT contract. That is the story. Thanks for all. It is not clear where to post the rules of the game in this bridge forum. I thought this is the appropriate place after looking at other places.

edit

I still believe it is better to start these on the half hour I like it. Why wait one hour for the next tournament? Also this will give some break to do something. Some of the tournaments are canceled due to same time start.

You can't ascribe all of the value to masterpoints. Most of the value in my opinion would be of playing bridge in an organized game with rules etc that they are familar with. A player delays the game in such a way to play two boards a round and brings the game to unplay the third board with in the last 4 minutes for each round. This player gets ave score for boards like third, sixth, 9th and 12th boards. Is the player within the organized game rules of ACBL speedball tournament? Another player works to play all three boards and unable to finish the third board and gets ave minus for unfinished boards. Is there any rules written for speedball games? Players still write to other players: faster please Please bid, speedball speedball game you are too slow You should be playing in slowball. You should not have entered this tournament, if you playing slow. fast 3 min or what ever time left hurry Are the players allowed to write/chat anything they want? Since, every players knows it is speedball tournament and they are committed to play fast.

Qualify Box is not functioning well. Over Opponents 2C bid, based on the meaning, there are two choices. Need to open convention card and select the appropriate meaning of the 2H bid and click on use. That way the follow up sequence of bidding will be continued properly. Simply clicking on 2H bid on the bid box will not do the follow up bids properly. Design of Qualify Box still need some improvements.

Suggestion: speedball games: 10 boards, 60 min run time, 5 rounds instead of 4 rounds, reduced award points. This will give some comfort break. Reduced TD work.

I am sorry, I should not care for this. I was curious to know how a player can get 30 to 50 points in one day. I was looking at ACBL master points awarded on BBO (WEB), suddenly points jump to 30 to 50 points sometimes in one day.

How a player is stratified in on-line games? Can this happen? Flight A player uses various user ID's for 6 to 12 months and not registering the ACBL number. Earns the points in playing A or B or C flighted events. Now, Registers the same ACBL number after 6 to 12 months for the those user ID's. Now, is it ok to allow the points that earned in flight B and C to be credited to that flight A player?

I will enjoy this team game option. What is the best format for 60 to 70 teams signing up? Knockout or swiss? Is the award points established for online-ACBL team games? This may kill the current ACBL speedball games.

Turbo Convention (copied from Turbo convention) This conventional method was designed to be employed with the Neapolitan Cuebid, which shows a first orsecond round control after a suit-fit has been established. The Neapolitan Cuebid is a feature of theNeapolitan System, which was principally developed by Mr. Eugenio Chiaradia, but which in later yearswas further revised by Mr. Benito Garozzo in 1965 and which was renamed by him as the Blue Team Club.This conventional method, which is incorporated in the Blue Team Club, then allows the bidder to informthe partner about the number of Aces and/or Key Cards held. The fundamental concept of the Turbo convention is that the partner rebids 4 No Trump to show an even number of Aces and/or Key Cards. This may only occur after a cuebid has been made showing a first orsecond round control after suit establishment. If the partner rebids higher than 4 No Trump, then this actionshows an odd number of Aces and/or Key Cards and also a first-round control in that named suit. The bid,therefore, of 4 No Trump does not ask for the number of Aces and/or Key Cards, but rather shows adefinite number of Aces and/or Key Cards. North South ♠ 65 ♠ A87 ♥ AKJ87 ♥ 10943 ♦ A ♦ QJ75 ♣ A8765 ♣ K6 North East South West 1 ♥ Pass 3 ♥ Pass 4 ♣ Pass 4 ♥ Pass 4 NT In the above auction, the first response of South of 3 ♥ promises a Limit Raise, generally with a 4-cardtrump support, and establishes the trump suit. The 4 ♣ rebid by North then becomes the Neapolitan Cuebidshowing either a first or second round control in Clubs. When South rebids 4 ♥, this informs North thatNorth that South does not hold any first or second round control in Diamonds, because South “by-passed”the Diamond suit. North, however, is still interested in a possible slam, and rebids 4 No Trump, which is then the Turboconventional method, and not any form of the Blackwood convention. The 4 No Trump bid by Northpromises an even number of Aces and/or Key Cards: either 0, or 2, or 4 Aces and/or Key Cards. In the above example, South, after first making a Limit Raise, realizes that North has four Key Cards, andpossessing one Ace and/or Key Card, South will then place the contract at: 6 ♥. If South holds no Ace and/or Key Card, then South simply signs off at 5 ♥. Those partnerships agreements, which include the Splinter bid, may be confronted with several confusingauctions and should become aware of the possible problems. The following examples should clarify: North East South West 1 ♠ Pass 4 ♦ Pass 4 NT In the above example, the first response of South is a Splinter bid. The rebid of 4 No Trump by North thenbecomes the Ace and/or Key Card asking bid. It is not the Turbo conventional method. North East South West 1 ♠ Pass 4 ♣ Pass 4 ♦ Pass 4 ♠ 4 NT After the 4 ♣ Splinter bid by South as the first response, establishing the trump suit, North cuebids Diamonds to show first or second round control. South “by-passes” Hearts to show neither first nor second round control in Hearts and returns to the trump suit. The rebid by North of 4 No Trump then becomes the Turbo conventional method, showing an even number of Aces and/or Key Cards.

I have checked and kibitzed several boards of board 11 and 12 in ACBL tournaments. These boards creates swing in the tournament. Players consume a lot of time in handling Board 11 either in bid or during the play and end up losing board 12 to play. That is why the board 12 is unusual number of unfinished boards in each every tournaments. This is observed in scoring results. This is compared to board 3 and board 6 and board 9.

2pm speedball tournament, Jan 1st, 2008 ACBL tournament: Record Board 12, 23 tables unfinished : TD will have to adjust for 23 tables. This is out of 46 tables. Still, I don't understand why TD's have to work hard to figure out adjustments. Board 10-thru 12 are programed to be difficult boards to bid or play and generally seems to consume more time than the alloted for these boards.

I actually find it is much easier to do the adjustments if the players do not bother me when they have not finished. I do not know for certain what all other directors do but when I am scheduled on my own I specifically ask the players not to ask me for adjustments. I monitor all of the tables. The software will generate a report of tables still in play. I refresh this as often as possible near the end of the round so I can see all of the tables that did not finish or only just finished in time. I then go to all of these tables and see if they need an adjustment and if so I make an assessment of the likely result. Personally I think there are times when average minus is far too generous to players that have caused the late finish. =========================================== TD's are NOT supposed to work hard for adjustments. This is unnecessary. I don't even know there is an established rule to do this by ACBL. Or some players can delay the game to get ave score, if they know that they are doing good in previous boards. How was the 60 minutes selected for all 12 boards? From looking at the game results, there was not a single tournament with all completed boards within the prescribed time. So, the arbitrary timing of 60 minutes is not sufficient. So, TD should have the ability to allow grace time of 4-6 minutes in the increment of 2 min each round when needed to complete the boards. This will minimize TD's efforts for adjustments. Who is in charge for ACBL tournament TD's? Is there a list of TD's?

ACBL Speedball tournaments: From looking at the game results, Average of 12-16 tables are unfinished in the entire tournament. Board 12, being the top, average of 6-8 tables are unfinished in each tournament. I cannot find a single tournament with all completed boards. This creates too much work for TD's unnecessarily for adjusting the boards for lots of reasons. ACBL Slowball tournaments: Down to one section most of the time. Anywhere between 4 to 16 tables.

ACBL tournament director says it is. This happened on 11-23-07, 8pm speedball brd 12. Being the last board, it is difficult to explain everything to the TD during the game because of the shortage of time. Result 6NT making 7, Lead T♠ If it is not legal, what is the damage? I am playing East.

Unable to use F6 key to clear the chat in BBO flash. I like the use of the F6 key to clear the chat in regular BBO program because it is quicker. It gets cluttered in the screen of too many chat lines. BBO flash takes longer time, because of the use of the mouse to pin point the line.

When I log in BBOFLASH, connection to BridgeBase program is lost. I get the message Connection with Bridgebase online has been lost. Please log in again (106). Able to log through anonymous log-in.

I use full disclosure convention card. In the tournament, I post both types of CC 1) old style Convention card and 2) full disclosure convention card. So, they can see either one. This is because some opponents don't look beyond the old style Convention card. I get questions in the tournament regularly that CC is not posted. The program post CC only one type what ever was used last one. I am unable to post both types. Reason is that every one is still not familiar with Full disclosure convention card. During the tournament, the opponents tells me that I have not posted one CC, because they are looking at the old style CC. It is blank. When I post the old style CC, Full Disclosure convention card is cleared. But I want to use the Full Disclosure convention card. I have 20 different versions of FD that I constantly change everyday and monitor thru the latest revision date. Is BBO saving all 20 versions (for example) and using the latest one that I used with my same partner. Is it possible to change on-line full disclosure CC? Software feature may be added at "Other Bridge activities" Preparation of Full disclosure CC So, the partners can assign bidding and meaning of a bid and build a FUll Disclosure CC at their pace. save it at their computer or BBO server and use it. It will be a slow process, may be in a year or two, worth it for a long term game development.
