ACBL Ruling against bid-box error ( 22:26:16 WedDec 4 2002 )
Using bidding boxes in an ACBL sanctioned game in a local club:

East bid 1H, South bid (2S) [AKxxxxx void xxx Qxx].
West asks North if 2NT is unusual.
North says YES
South now notices he put down 2NT, not 2S and says OOPS.
Director called and ruled unauthorized information and South may not correct his oops. Also because West brought it to South's attention.

1. Isn't South allowed to change his bid up until the time his partner bids when the misbid is mechanical?

2. Isn't this also true even though the misbid was "learned" from an opponent's questioning?

Thank you,
Shuffler

Your understanding coincides with the conclusions of the recent discussion here in the thread 'Change of Call'. If you read that thread you will see that the circumstances in which a player realises he has pulled the wrong bid can lead people to assume it affects the ruling, but this appears to be a misconception.


Quote: bluejak

It does not matter how he finds out he has pulled the wrong card ["mispulled"]: he is allowed to correct it.

Nothing in the wording of Law 25A suggests otherwise.
