Cascade Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 (1♦) 3NT = hearts Is this legal or not? I couldn't find anything suggesting it was legal in the GCC. However the player claimed that he has been playing it for 20-25 years and has been told it is ok by National Directors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackshoe Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Doesn't look legal to me. I'd ask the TD to show me under which part of the GCC it's legal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 I was the director and asked the player under which part (specifically of competitive bidding) that he thought it was legal. He just told me I was wrong :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackshoe Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 So you ruled against him? Good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbodell Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 If the hearts are solid then it is legal as an opening, but doesn't seem to be legal as an overcall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, is the GCC in NZ the same as ours? Just curious; I know you specified ACBL even though you show located elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
