Play this slam: What's wrong with south raising hearts?
John Torrey's bidding problem: J872 T8642 K4 T7: I was thinking more like 3♠.
Was this the correct ruling?: [b]You should have called the director ... after the play if your side is defending[/b] That's what I did. We defended 5♣. I had to wait until the play of the hand was completed.
John Torrey's bidding problem: J872 T8642 K4 T7: White vs red and north passed the first round?
Was this the correct ruling?: North, south and west were experienced. East was a beginner having started playing bridge about 1 year ago. I was west. We (EW) had had an identical auction earlier that session, except that I opened the major and my partner bid 3♣. I alerted and dummy hit with the ...
Was this the correct ruling?: [b] What is east's pass of the double?[/b] Weakest possible action. I don't want to bid 3♠ unless forced.
Was this the correct ruling?: Director was not a novice, but was also playing that day. Seemed to be in a hurry to get back to her table.
Was this the correct ruling?: North was familiar with the EW methods and knew 3♣ was Bergen. South did not.
Was this the correct ruling?: [b]The director can't do anything without determining whether it was mistaken bid or mistaken explanation. That has to be the first step.[/b] There was no explanation given. The EW infraction was a failure to alert. There were no questions asked about the auction.
Was this the correct ruling?: [b]To have asked if he already knew the answer would have been an infraction--you're not allowed to ask just to call your partner's attention to it.[/b] North did express that opinion after the ruling, although not to the director.
