Neither does law 42 (dummy's right) so I guess the dummy is not allowed to review the auction or ask question about the defenders' calls once the auction is over.

Re: Dummy gets a review? ( 07:44:38 TueJul 15 2003 ) Select Action Reply Quote post Report post Last posts Ignore user Global ignore Whisper I humbly disagree with David. As I can figure out from the laws the (presumed) dummy can ask for a review of the auction till the opening lead is faced. The definitions state: "Dummy 1. Declarer’s partner. He becomes dummy when the opening lead is faced." So he is not the dummy till then. And law 41B explicitly gives him the right to ask for a review of the auction: "Before the opening lead is faced, the leader’s partner and the presumed declarer each may require a review of the auction, or request explanation of an opponent’s call."

Re: Dummy gets a review? ( 10:04:34 TueJul 15 2003 ) Select Action Reply Quote post Report post Last posts Ignore user Global ignore Whisper I agree dummy is not dummy [!!!] until the opening lead is faced. But when could dummy ask for a review? During the auction only at his turn to call, which is why I said before his last call. After the auction ends and before the play period starts is covered by Law 41B, which you quoted: "Before the opening lead is faced, the leader’s partner and the presumed declarer each may require a review of the auction, or request explanation of an opponent’s call." That gives declarer and leader's partner the right for a review: but not declarer's partner, ie dummy. --- David Stevenson <laws2@blakjak.com> Liverpool, England, UK http://blakjak.com/lws_menu.htm
