- Do You or Don't You?
- Packs have been shuffled together before. It wouldn't be the craziest thing ever to happen at the bridge table to hold something like: ♠ J10987665432 ♥ 5 ♦ --- ♣ 8
- Which bid is most liable for the final contract?
- North should pass 2♣ with that hand. 2♣ tends to show 6 clubs and about 7-10 points. Sure you might hit a heart fit but if you don't hit you're probably best off in 2♣.
- Which bid is most liable for the final contract?
- Each of South's calls is worse than the last.
- Bad Claim Case from San Francisco
- Ed, appeals without merit for director rulings don't really map well onto criminal prosecution because of the high stakes of criminal law. A bridge equivalent might be suspension/expulsion (imprisonment = time banned from bridge), where if someone gets suspended for 5 years and appeals, the tributary is probably not ...
- Bad Claim Case from San Francisco
- That's a fair point but imo a much narrower one that your original comment suggests, which read to me that there is some impropriety in referring to one's marital status in a public forum.
- Bad Claim Case from San Francisco
- Mike, even if that were true (and while it might be for some personal relationships, I hardly think it would be the case for marriage), it certainly isn't the case here, where [i]three[/i] of the commenters' profiles [i]in this subthread[/i] refer to Michael and Debbie ...
- Is it a demand or a suggestion?
- 2♣ was also a pretty gross misbid.
- U31 junior event
- That's a step in the wrong direction, imo. "Young ladies" sounds like the sort of thing a high school principal would say. Just call them women, which is what they are.
- U31 junior event
- It's fine if women want to refer to themselves as girls, but it strikes me as infantalizing for an organization to make the official name of a competition a "girls'" competition, when many of the competitors are over 20 and hold or are working for advanced degrees. And Mike ...
- U31 junior event
- The WBF naming scheme is absurd. The tournament is the World Youth Teams Championships, which is a pretty mediocre name, but the category names get worse. U16 = "Kids," OK that's not so bad. 15-year olds are definitely kids U21 = "Youngsters," OK, well to my ear youngsters are younger than ...
