WellSpyder Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I know that as dummy I am allowed to try to stop partner leading out of turn, for example when he looks like he is about to lead from hand but should be leading from dummy. What about as defender? Am I allowed to stop partner who looks like he is about to lead to a trick when I actually won the previous trick? (Obviously I could try to do this by leading rather quickly myself, but I might want to take a little more time to think about it...)

PeterE Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 [...] However any player, including dummy, may attempt to prevent another player’s committing an irregularity (but for dummy subject to Laws 42 and 43). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluejak Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Note that this is one matter which has been improved immeasurably by the new Laws. under the previous Law book it was not clear at all what the answer was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naturally, any answer is better than no answer. Even the worst possible answer is better than not knowing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluejak Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Ok, Stef, what do you mean? Under the previous Law book, some people thought they were allowed to stop partner, some did not, some stopped partner, some did not, and the TDs had no legal basis for doing anything about it. How can this not be an improvement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 just kick him under the table. with a little practice you can apply very strong force without a noticeable sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
