luis Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 In Germany non-forcing 2/1 shifts are alertable, so this would be alertable under our regulations. If your regulations say it's not alertable than it's not. Period. Alertability is not about what one deems to be "obvious" but what the regulations demand. Maybe these regulations are silly or inconsistent but that doesn't change the facts. Therefore I don't undertstand why everybody here is repeating the argument that because this is so "obvious" and "natural" you don't have to alert it. --Sigi I bet you a beer 2♦ is not alertable in Germany with the 1NT overcall in the middle. You owe Sigi a beer. Sorry Luis, but it is very dangerous to assume that German bridge regulations make any sense. (Unfortunately, there are way bigger L&E problems than this in Germany.)

Sigi_BC84 Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 I bet you a beer 2♦ is not alertable in Germany with the 1NT overcall in the middle. Um, actually I have checked the German regulations before posting as to not embarass myself here, and the bid is absolutely alertable (it doesn't matter what the interference bid meant, a non-forcing shift on the one or two level is always alertable). If that is actually not the case then I'd be thankful to be pointed to an official source. --Sigi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
