pigpenz Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 In NABC would play in pairs, perhaps would not attend fall NABC but a subsequent one. When one plays "an obtuse card", one wants to follow all the appropriate policies and guidelines, so I would like to know what they are. At this point, I haven't seen the requirement to "carry around a card for the opps", and I don't know even if we did whether the opponents would like being presented with a card or not. at the NABC 's there are various forms of pairs which I am sure you are well aware of. The idea being of at least giving the opponents some chance of having a way of defending against your system If you are the only ones playing your system then opps most likely have not run up against it and then you are at a decided advantage against them. Put your self in their position say your oppenents had defenses to your system but did not let you know about them. At certain levels the ACBL tries to protect players from running into these type of systems. Is that good for bridge or bad for bridge? Depends on your point of view. The ACBL in in the business of running these events and hmmm.... maybe selling points, so they tend to go out of their way to protect weaker players. So the Nationally rated events have convention restrictions that being something that some Players are opposed to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
