law 27

[bali 2]

N opens 1H, East pass, S 3H, West 1S.

N calls attention to the I.B., but W doesn't wait for the director and bids 2S.

What is the ruling ?

 

Note : Law 27B4 send to 27B3, which says " the attempted call ( 2S in our case ) is cancelled", but says nothing about the first I.B.

27 B4 says that the director rules as in B3 unless LHO accepts the "substituted " I.B., but what happens to 1S ?

27C do not specify that the replacement must be legal. So does the substitution stands ?

 

Many thanks in advance.

In sequence:

 

1: L27A and L27C!: North may accept 1S as legal, and if he does then end of story.

 

2: If he doesn't then L27C: 2S is the bid made by West in this round, but it is (another) IB so:

 

3: L27A: North may accept 2S as legal, and if he does then end of story.

 

4: If he doesn't then L27B: West must replace his 2S IB with a legal call, and I assume the rest is simple routine?
