Missed Bid Bug.

[Trumpace]

I was playing this Robot tournament: http://webutil.bridgebase.com/v2/tview.php?t=1105-1383259801

 

On this hand (UGH, the hand is inlined in unreadable font size. The hand is M-18413211-1383259801)

It seems like a double by the West GIB Robot was missed (based on what it did on other tables). The explanations for the subsequent bids seem consistent with a double being missed too. As a result, the East Robot was stuck (I guess you can call it a deadlock), and I could not complete the hand (and the tournament).

 

This could potentially be a bug in the flash client/server infrastructure (and not the GIB robot per se), but I am reporting it here

We noticed that as a symptom during the crash that affected robot tournaments yesterday. Just before getting stuck robots would make a weird bid. At one table they opened 2S alerted as cappelletti, at another a 3H splinter alerted as natural weak hearts etc. This is probably because we were having technical problems.

 

We'll refund the entry fees for the tournaments where your were affected - and sorry for the inconvenience.
