Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Everyman a Bridge Master (sorry about the sexist tone of the title, it was 1961)
- There's a director here who told me today, for about the hundredth time, that I sleep with the law book under my pillow. She's wrong. Truth to tell, I don't even know where my copy of the law book is. :-)
- Fanning the Flames of False Claims
- I didn't see any evidence of "refusal". And you can't give a ZT penalty for just not stating one.
- Fanning the Flames of False Claims
- "Tiny" is an overbid. I can see no reason why the defenders should not "benefit" from declarer's mistake.

- As others have said, dummy is responsible for deploying his hand properly and for putting cards in the played position when declarer has played those cards. It is not a "sponsoring organization" decision. Actually, technically there are no sponsoring organizations anymore. The current term is "tournament organizer". Or Regulating Authority ...
- Ethics??
- He is not dummy until the opening lead is actually faced, but Law 41B prohibits him from asking questions during the Clarification Period anyway.
- Ethics??
- Well, that falls into the "admittedly fuzzy" ambiguity hole. I have played "Top and Bottom" cues. IIRC, these are specifically mentioned as not requiring an alert. 1♣-2♣ has no heart suit. Are you saying I should feel "filthy"?
