blackshoe Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I'm usually pretty good about interpreting what I read, even in the ACBL's convoluted regs. I've been wrong before, though, and probably will be again. What does HQ say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluejak Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 After seeing the Jacoby 2NT example above, I realized that there's a pretty common situation where we show stoppers on the 2 level: Inverted Minors. After raising a minor, a popular style is to start showing stopped suits, so partner can bid NT if they have the other suits stopped. But no one alerts this -- they do convey a meaning related to the suit bid, but not necessarily length.I alert them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stopper-showing bids carry additional information about other suits or strength, when played by people who have thoroughly defined their follow-ups; and thus should be alerted anyway.
