:lol: Sounds like someone was justifiably done long live bunnies :rolleyes:

:blink: mmmm what happens if N/S play 'Mandatory' re-opening doubles ??????? ;) Do you just have to grin and bear your stupid partner for asking then passing Or could you shoot them legally

<_< yes robin but in this scenario the TD is going to agree with West and cancel the 4♥ bid Why cannot I bid ♦??? ;)

:unsure: But Me as North have done nothing wrong except use Ghestem Correctley as per partnership it is my Idiot partner who has forgotten Can I be penalised and prevented from bidding ♦ ;)

:D Yup unfortunately they aint got an inexpensive suit to run to :lol:

:rolleyes: Assuming the poor TD should agree with West and cancel the 4♥ does not North now have the right to Re-Bid Legally ??? ;)

Unless I am misreading this the bid was explained as WJO in Clubs ; By Whom ??? I assume South if so; and indeed if it states the Dreaded Ghestem on their CC; then E/W have been Damaged. However looking at the hands I would offer E/W what I think was called in circles a 'Higson' ; as 5♦ appears to be a make :P

Perhaps so many different views by TD's who like to sit on razor blades and not actually have to make a straight ruling in case others who are of the ilk 'Do a Split score at all costs' jump up and down at L&E B-)

I assume you told Declarer it is an offence to Claim tricks which he is not entitled to or that could be lost through any 'Normal' play B-)

There hve been more problems since the 'Idiots' running the State of Europe decided on one curency Europe has always and will always be a Disaster :ph34r:

I like this penalty edd but Hanging may be better :rolleyes:

:D Gordon really our Assistant CTD doesnt know the Answer Tut Tut TIC :lol:

;) I have just looked at the link and it appears that the Auction has been completed then the play ceased at trick 9 with Delarer able to take the remaining tricks for 12 <_<

;) How about the old rule if it is held in such a position that it COULD be seen not still applicable NB the COULD not was :)

:D mmmm can we also have the capital county flag of England YORKSIRE :blink:

Thiis (and other posts by you) pose a small concern I was planning to play in a "proper" tournament in India next year. But if there are TD calls, can I trust the TD to get it right? ;) perhaps with this comment you should not go it is quite uncalled for to write this :)

;) all my students are given the EBU Acol Simple systems convention Card :angry:

:blink: by the definitions in UK this does not meet the criteria for an Acol 2♠ opener :D

;) We play our 1♦ opener as denying 5M but also might be a VOID holding 5 rubish ♣44M of course could be a genuine ♦ suit :)

:) thankyou good to know B)

;) can you actually speak to a yellow from within a tourney ? <_<

Not to me. I can't work out what "TM" means (aside from Trade Mark). :angry: gordon just seen tm's must mean tournaments i think :)

Luckily it is not being run by a particular Scottish organiser whose implementation of Scotland's premier weekend event, advertised as double elimination, enabled de Botton's team to win despite being beaten four times. Now that on the other hand seems like an excellent format to me, assuming the particular Scot made some money out of it! Doubtful - it was just a dreadful format. The organiser also managed to offend de Botton sufficiently that she has never come back. :D cant be all that bad then :) :angry:

:D put me in the same nuthouse as i prefer to show partner my hand holding a minimum count :rolleyes:

:( On BBO I am not against it But like cardsharp in the real world I hate the idea of players eyes being glue to positions/scores being posted / televised in the playing area ;)
