McBruce Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 (Back to the original question: 1♦ - 2NT showing clubs and hearts, no alert, adjusted score awarded by TD.) It would have been better for us to make a judgment by seeing the full hand and other pertinent information. Without it we have no way of answering questions like: Did you have a convention card loaded that the opponents might have looked at? What is the nature of the damage claimed by the opponents? Is this damage directly related to the non-alert? Were the opponents experienced players, enough to know better before coming into an auction on a dubious assumption about the meaning of a bid? It's far from clear that an adjustment is called for here, although I can see cases where one might be given. 2NT has so many possible meanings that I think in online bridge the onus should be on the opponents to ask privately if they need to, when any such ambiguous bid is not alerted. The idea that an opponent hearing the 2NT bid can take a shot and ask for an adjustment later if it doesn't work troubles me, ESPECIALLY in an environment where we can ask about a bid privately with no chance of unauthorized information being passed.
