I had great sympathy for this victim

Bottom of an IMPs tourney

Can anyone explain the point ranges -do you suddenly go to slam range with 4C

You look at the traveller and wonder how it could happen

 

I have noticed this behaviour by the North bot before. No interest in anything for several rounds followed by a jump to slam

The problem is not North, but South, that is not bidding according to system.

 

It is very frustrating, that GIB's implementation of Michaels Cuebid (and 2N like here) is wrong, so any further bids from the cuebidder shows 25+ - I think Stephen has written it before, as North has promised no points, souths bid shows the number of hcp needed to win the contract - here that is 25+ total points.

 

Last time i forgot GIB jumped to 7♣ :-)
