Stop out of turn ( 22:20:44 TueJan 21 2003 )
North is the dealer. East pulls out the stop card and then says "Oh no, it's not my turn!"
What is the ruling? Stop isn't a call but it must be unauthorised information?

Law 16 says "Players are authorized to base their calls and plays on information from legal calls and plays and from mannerisms of opponents. To base a call or play on other extraneous information may be an infraction of law."

The fact that East pulled out the Stop Card is certainly "other extraneous information". So West is probably (note the word "may" above) not permitted to base his call(s) on it. If called to the table about this, I would caution West regarding his Law 16 obligation, and tell the table to play on, and call me back if there later appears to have been a problem.

From "Ruling the Game: A Director's guide to the 1975 Duplicate Code":

"Law 18. Bids
Utterances such as "one..." and "I am about to make a skip bid..." do not constitute bids, or even calls. This type of situation is to be dealt with using Law 16. In no case should the Director ever require that the offender name a denomination or otherwise complete his call."
