Re: bridge ( 17:07:39 SatMar 8 2003 ) Select Action Reply Quote post Report post Last posts Ignore user Global ignore Whisper Your question probably belongs in the "Ask an Expert" or "The Bridge Table" forums. This forum is intended to be a discussion of the Laws and rulings, though other questions of a directoral nature, i.e., movements, scoring, etc., are generally welcome as well. Assuming there is a ruling-related reason for your question: After 1C-1x, the 1NT bid should show about 7-10 points and a stopper in the opponents suit. Some play it weaker (e.g. 6-9, some a little stronger (e.g., 8-11). If the bid is not in this range, and/or does not promise a stopper, it should be alerted. --- -Jim O'Neil Oak Park, IL

Re: bridge ( 23:37:27 SunMar 9 2003 ) Select Action Reply Quote post Report post Last posts Ignore user Global ignore Whisper Jim is usually very punctilious in his replies, but he has slipped slightly here! Whne he says that if the range is other than the standard it should be alerted he should have added in the ACBL. Alerting is different in different countries, which is one reason we always ask people to quote their country with queries, and in many countries 1NT would not be alertable just because the range is unusual. --- David Stevenson <laws2@blakjak.com> Liverpool, England, UK http://blakjak.com/lws_menu.htm

Re: bridge ( 23:59:41 SunMar 9 2003 ) Select Action Reply Quote post Report post Last posts Ignore user Global ignore Whisper Country: USA Yes, of course. I apologize. Different countries have not only different alert procedures, but also different procedures regarding allowable conventions, skip bid procedures, bid-box procedures, etc. Furthermore, the Laws themsevles vary among sponsoring organizations (Laws 12C3 and 61B, for example). --- -Jim O'Neil Oak Park, IL
