Misuse of stop card? ( 14:52:28 FriJul 26 2002 )
Last night a lady asked me if I use the stop card when I think the next player may have any problem to bid. An example:
....... N .... E ....... S ........ W
...... 1H - (1S) - sotp 3H - (3S)
stop 4H

If N thinks than E may have any problem in his turn to bid, he use the Stop.

I didn't see anything like this before, but I think it is not lawful.

You don't think this way to use of the stop card (at least randomly) may be a way to tranmit a UI to partner (I have a limit bid, the problem is for them)? Oppinions?

Re: strager stop ( 15:07:18 FriJul 26 2002 )
The rules for Stop cards are very simple: if your next call is a jump bid then you always use a Stop card: if it is not a jump bid, or it is a pass, double or redouble, then you never use a Stop card. Nothing else is legal.

There are some places which do not use Stop cards: but everywhere that does the above rules apply.
