- Probably not. I can't help it if directors or committees are incompetent.
- Upgrades or not?
- Should I teach my opponents Bergen's method of hand evaluation?

- Avoiding lightner/penalty double hitch vs slams. "Lightner pass"
- "I may be showing my age, but I've asked for reviews with explanations since long before bidding boxes and no one has ever questioned what I was asking for or even hesitated for a moment." And no one will, because like you they've been doing it that way ...
