- Point of No Return
- The explanation of the "decision speed" and "point of no return" contains a significant flaw that may cause people to think that flying is less safe than it actually is. Assuming the regulations are followed, "It may or may not fly" is not true because the regulations require that the ...
- How do you rule?
- I’m not sure if the Australian bridge terminology is different but in ACBL land, a puppet is “A bid which requires partner to make a specific bid”. A relay on the other hand is “A bid which does not guarantee any specific suit; partner is requested to make the ...

- 1Nt---(2M)---X as penalties
- Abstein. My preference is to use X as penalty but only if we play Rubensohl (which in my opinion is the best convention to use over a natural overcall after we open 1NT).
