qwery_hi Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 What is when you are 4-2-(43) you randomly choose to open 1c or 1d? Does this require an alert or a pre-alert? If so, what should you say to the opponents? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do it randomly, than sometimes your bidding is canapé style, that is alertable.Notice that some SO's order to alert the 2nd bid of a canapé and not the first bid. Check your SO for details about alerting canapé style bidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I played canape a lot, they wanted the second bid alerted, not the first, because the 4-card major opening was not alertable. Extrapolating out, if a 3-card club opening is not alertable, then any later nuance seems to be late-alerted. I think that's wrong, and I think canape should be alerted on open, but we received these weird rulings nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotShot Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 It seems logical to me that under your agreement 1♥ or 1NT would need no alert, while any later ♦ bid would require an alert.But that would require a bridge law commission to decide.....
