Stop cards are tools of the devil

"Oh, you didn't use the stop card? Partner, I have a 6-5-1-1 10 count, including two aces."

Djeez do I really have to spell it out for you? "UI from hesitations"

If you're writing a regulation, you better be sure to "spell it out" or we'll be right back here talking about how screwed up the regulation is. :P

Yeah, I'm not a lawyer, but did you see the word "like"? I never proposed this exact line as a new law, I just expressed my opinion about what type of consequences we could use.

 

In everything we write on a forum you can find some loopholes, but that doesn't mean the idea is wrong/poor. ;)

well I hope so, since it is the german regulation since many years :)

"[...]Unterlässt es ein Spieler „Stopp“ zu sagen oder gibt er die Reizung zu früh wieder frei, so verliert seine Seite das Recht, irgendwelche Ansprüche aus einer übermäßig verzögerten oder überhasteten Ansage eines Gegners herzuleiten.[...]"

 

~If a player does not use the stop card or retreats it prematurely his side will not get any redress from an overly fast or overly slow bidding by the opponent.

I assume "overly slow bidding" still requires the call to be made within (approximately) the ten seconds limit from when the skip bid was made?

 

We have essentially the same regulation in Norway.

Yes, but

 

The side that didn't use properly the stop card will retain the table score regardless of how long the oppenent thought.

 

If you think too long over the usual 10 seconds the UI can lead to a different score for your side according §16.

 

The whole story ending in a split score.

Awesome, you can actually punish your opps by thinking too long and partner making abuse of this! Should make this a meta agreement... :D
