- The bidding;
- S W N E
- P 1C(1) 3C(2) D(3)
- P 3D P 3H
- 3S P 4C(!) D
- P 4D P P
- P
-
- (1) 10-17 hcp, 0-4 spades, 3-5 hearts (!)
- (2) agrement = preemptive with clubs, alerted and explained as 5+ spades and another
- 5+ suit
- (3) Negative double
-
- Both pairs compete at the highest national level.
-
- The director and I thought that North had committed an infraction when he bid 4C.
- However, to judge what would have happened if N did not bid 4C was very difficult.
- The board had been played at the other table (5D making 6). We decided to throw
- the board out and give NS a 3 imp procedural penalty. Essentially NS lost 13 imps.
-
- Any comments on the decision?
