Hi all ! I have a question: You play with your standard partner and agreed on a special system. Standard system is strong ♣, 5Majors. Partner opens 1 ♦ which can be short as void. You bid 2 ♦ which means to shorten discussion 14+ balanced, partner bids 2 ♥ which is relais. Now you hold: [hv=s=sajxhq10dkq10xckjxx]133|100|[/hv] System now says: 3nt bid means 14-18, both Major stoppers, 3 ♥ or 3 [♥ would mean 14-18, stopper in this major but no stopper in other Major. I decided to bid with this hand 3nt, having Q,10 in !H and promising for my partner a stopper. I alerted my 3nt bid, informing opps that it means 14+ balanced, both Major stoppers. What do you think about it ? TD has stolen me the game, as after ♥ lead (from AKxx in ♥ you shd lead Ace and king) and partner shd then take immediaterly ace of diamonds... My general question: if i wd have alerted my 3nt bid only saying 14+ blanced, nothing would have happened. But as I said 14+ balanced, both Major stoppers TD has stolen the game. I am a serous and fair player, well known in my country, and just gave explanation according to our CC. Having a semi !H stopper. Besides, correction from TD was -7,8, our opps were very weak, but almost everyone made 3nt. WAS I PUNISHED BECAUSE I EXPLAINED FULLY SYSTEM? In international team tourneys (not in inernet) opps get my cc, and can read what my bid means in advance and I wd behave same with my hand and explain same and nothing wd happen. Thx for your comments
