Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Plea to BBO software developers
- BBO is already wonderful but David Yates suggestions seem simple to implement and would improve our viewgraph experience.
- Other as a logical alternative
- Pelyush is right: An 'Other' option would enfranchise those with a relevant opinion not listed explicitly in the poll. Different from -- and not to be confused with -- 'Abstain', which is for those who don't want to express an opinion.
- What To Do When Someone Acts on UI?
- Or 4♥X-5, perhaps, as Steve Bloom suggests.
- What To Do When Someone Acts on UI?
- As dealer, West tanks and passes. East has a 3334 8-HCP but overcalls 2♣ over North's strong 1N opener. Then West fails to advance, in spite of his 12 HCP. Perhaps North should double for take-out, but failure to do so isn't an egregious error. It matters ...

[list] [*] Eliminating the latter would save a few Amazon rain-forests, level the playing-field, and simplify life for peripatetic players. [*] Many current rules are too sophisticated, over-subjective, unnecessary, add no value, and should be eliminated ...
- Golden Rules
- [quote=Ed Reppert] I looked for ten second sand timers a while back.[/quote][quote=Ed Judy]I don't know why it isn't technically easy to employ a timer at trick 1, preferably on a bridge mate.[/quote] We can't rely on RAs to make sensible regulations ...
- Life Master Pairs Mess
- Allowing players adequate time to peruse and check detailed provisional scores (their own and those of other competitors), goes some way to establishing [b][i]the facts[/b][/i]. But the process must not take forever. Guaranteed perfection is a vain aspiration. The director must soon be confident enough to ...
