this was not a bbo tourney- it was our local acbl tourney. however, i have found that the players and directors on bbo are very knowledgable so i sought their opinions

we are playing 2/1 in a sanctioned ACBL tournament North bids 1 spade-- South bids 2 hrts--North bids 3 dmds-- South bids 3 spades--North bids 4 hrts (opps ask and are told that it is a cue bid)--South bids 4NT--North responds 5 clubs ( opps ask what does that mean and South states that it is a 1430 response showing 1 or 4 controls in SPADES)-- South bids 5 spades. North originally thought he should be responding in hrts so now he corrects his mistake by bidding 6 spades ( he has the AKQ of spades and no other aces) 1. Did South make a mistake in fully describing his partner's bid? 2. North certainly took advantage of his mistake based upon South's explanation. ( or it may be argued that North would realize his mistake once South bid 5 spades and he would correct to 6 spades) Do the opponents have any recourse ?

north opens 1NT with 15 points and flat hand, with 4 spades east pasess south bids 2 hrts (trnfr) with seven high card points and a singleton small hrt west doubles to indicate a hrt lead 1. Should north bid 2 spades or 3 spades with hand as described above? Does it matter that we are playing IMP's? 2. If the answer to 1. is that north should bid 2 spades, what should south do? My partner believes that i (north) should have used super acceptance. I disagree believing that my partner should have raised my 2 spade response to 3 spades, or even 4 spades because of west's double. Thanks for your thoughtful responses.

We play SAYC and 1430, bidding goes I bid 1S, P bids 2D, I bid 3C, P bids 4NT. 1. Is the 4NT bid a 1430 bid based on club fit? 2. If not, what would be the standard meaning or is this by agreement?

My p and I play SAYC and 1430. I bid 1S, P bids 2D, I bid 3C, P bids 4NT. Have we agreed that that we are playing clubs and is he using 1430?

bidding goes east-pass south-one club west-double north-one notrump east- double what the heck does east's double mean?
