Preventing partner leading out of turn


WellSpyder

Recommended Posts

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...)

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.

Improved as far as clarity is concerned, yes. Naturally, any answer is better than no answer. Even the worst possible answer is better than not knowing...

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?

Sorry, I expressed myself poorly. Have changed message above.
