Preventing an irregularity ( 11:05:39 FriJul 26 2002 ) Select Action Reply Quote post Report post Last posts Whisper It is a basic tenet that the laws define correct procedure, and that anything not specifically sanctioned in the laws is not allowed. Thus: Dummy may point out to his partner who is detaching a card to play that the lead is in dummy (or that a defender has the lead), as this is sanctioned in Law 41. Dummy may not point out that a defender who is detaching a card is not on lead, as this is not specifically sanctioned. So far agreed? Last night my partner pulled out a card to lead to a trick, not having noticed that declarer had won the last trick. I stopped him in time, but an opponent objected that I was not allowed to do so. Which law or regulation (or inference from either of these) allows me to do this?

Re: Preventing an irregularity ( 14:48:53 FriJul 26 2002 ) Select Action Reply Quote post Report post Last posts Ignore user Global ignore Whisper None. I think it is illegal. I know everyone does stop their partner form doing things wrong when defencding, and people rarely comment, but I actually think it is illegal. As you say, there is no Law allowing it, so ...... Let's see whether Ed comes up with something I have missed. --- David Stevenson <laws2@blakjak.com> Liverpool, England, UK http://blakjak.com/lws_menu.htm

Re: Preventing an irregularity ( 03:27:39 SunJul 28 2002 ) Select Action Reply Quote post Report post Last posts Ignore user Global ignore Whisper Don't think so. Law 9A2(b)2 and Law 46B2 specifically allowed dummy to attempt to prevent declarer's irregularity. I can't find any similar law allowing a defender to attempt to prevent his partner's.
