Zelandakh Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 a) you tell them your agreement in fullb) you call the TD and explain what the opps said and explain that you feel this is abusive and should not be acceptable behaviourc1) you apologise and amend your agreement, at least for that competitionc2) after the event, if you cannot live with the amendment, you write to the regulating authority asking for a definitive ruling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerben42 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 c) Of course you have checked before the tournament that your agreement is not illegal so you keep playing it and appeal the director's ruling on any of those boards, pointing out the correct paragraph.

semeai Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Congrats on the win, and condolences on the loss. :) Was playing the modified Fantunes pair in any way eventful? Did their wide-ranging (in suit quality) two bids lead to any interesting hands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunnyGo Posted July 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Not really. The system swings came from right/wrong siding on their weak notrump. My partnership never ended up playing them (they chose a different partnership in the first quarter, and we were so happy with the setup we left it that way). The match was entirely decided by card play, opening leads and the like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awm Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 lol In some sense, this is exactly the right response, though. So, since you seem to have a grasp here:(a) what do you tell opps when they ask what your agreements about 3rd seat openers are?(b) what do you tell opps when they tell you that you're using an illegal agreement(c ) what do you tell the director when he tells you you're using an illegal agreement (a: The truth. Anything else would be unethical, although you'd probably get away with it in practice.(b: That I think the agreement is legal, that Rick Beye at ACBL said it was legal, but that they're welcome to call the director.(c: Apparently the trick is to name a bunch of good players... "Meckstroth would open this hand, Grue would open this hand...." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
