Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Speedball Claim
- Ok, for all of those reasons, too :) I forgot a ♣ had been ruffed. So yes, all signs points to no finesse with a complete count on the hand
- Speedball Claim
- West will have a count on the hand. North has shown up with 3♠ and 1♥ and when he plays the third round of ♦, North will follow. Finessing him gives North a 5 card suit for his preempt. It could happen, but odds would be against. It ...
- Deleting a Team Match
- Click on the "Director" tab on the right. You should see your match. Left click on the match and click "Cancel Tournament." That should do it.

- Revoke confusion
- That's not true. The person who revoked did not win the trick even though his side took the trick. The only time it's a two-trick penalty is, essentially, when the offender has won the trick by ruffing it. In all other instances, it's a one-trick adjustment unless ...
- Unusual UI Situation
- The best thing to do in these types of situations is to fill out a player memo. At NABCs, there are multiple computers set up right outside the playing area to make it easier for players to put in the information. That's the best way we can track hesitations ...
