.. • AIIM_cet~... aca. There atill Mema to be a certain amount of confusion in the application of the .. -.op .. procedure. Wben indica tin& a jump or pre-emptive bid, the expres­ sion to be U8ed ia " stop " and oot " wp bid ". The " stop " announcement lbould be liven by the player who ia about to make the jump bid. Tbe anoounce· meat lbould be aiveo before any bid whtcb cuts out a round of bidding. Tbe mon ..,areut reuoo for the •• stop" procedure is that it enables the nen ple,Jer to pve some little thouaht without creatin& a " hesitation " situation. - t'bere is. howevu, an equallY important aspect of the matter. It is improper for tbe next player after a "stop" announcemtnt to bid too quickly. Should he clo eo this clearly suueata that be has a hand on wbicb he has no interest in bidcliq. Just as aftu a marked hesitation by a player, his partner is required to juatily any bld he mq make at his next turn, so, after a pass made too quickly followiq a " stop " announcement, the partner would be required to justify a faHure to bid at the nen turn on a borderline hand. The Rules and Ethics Committee specifically deplore an apparent lack of interest by a player the mandatory pause followins a " stop " announcement since such lack of interest could be interpret d as sbowin& a poor hand. When such behaviour is estab­ lished the tournament directors are empowered to penalize in accordance with the Laws. Uceaces.
