Riding the rush Jenni Carmichael and Greg Humphreys led the two-day from start to finish in spectacular fashion. Humphreys selected these two deals that contributed to their success.

Here’s our first board of the afternoon (first final session) on Wednesday. It’s about the importance of bidding in . I pick up: ♠K Q J 4 2 ♥2 ♦A K Q 9 7 ♣A10 My right-hand opponent opened 3♥ and I bid a pretty heavy 3♠. LHO bid 4♥ and partner bids 4♠. After what felt like about two minutes, my RHO finally decided to compete to 5♥. I take the push to 5♠, and when this passes back around to my RHO, he doubles. I get a club lead, and see in dummy (hands rotated):

A player who Alerts or Announces a bid must make sure his opponents are aware that an Alert or Announcement has been made. Daily Bulletin Saturday, March 19, 2016 Page 19

While recorder complaints and before a disciplinary committee, he will present the investigations are confidential, the recorder will notify the parties involved which of these three actions he has taken with the complaint. Complaints fall into one of two general categories: behavioral and bridge. Behavioral complaints are fairly self-explanatory, and the recorder must simply decide if the behavior warrants a disciplinary committee or if it should simply be recorded in the event that more such complaints are presented about the same individual in the future. Bridge complaints should include as much detail about the deal as possible, including the exact hands (hand records are very useful for this purpose). One should also include the bidding, the opening lead and, when relevant, the play of the hand. Recorders use these player memos documenting unusual action taken at the table to build cases against partnerships that are using covert methods to information to each other. Prearranged partnership collusion by means of signaling to exchange information is the most serious form of cheating that exists within bridge. While a single complaint is very rarely sufficient to prove such a case, a number of hands demonstrating unusual actions can bring a pattern to light. It will be up to an ethics committee to determine if this pattern proves cheating. It is important to keep in mind that public accusations of cheating are not tolerated. All such accusations must be made in private to a tournament director or recorder. To do otherwise is a violation of the CDR. The CDR, Recorder Regulations, and many other resources outlining the ACBL Recorder System are available on the ACBL website at acbl. org/tournaments_page/ethics-and-discipline/. Staff in the ACBL’s National Recorder office is more than happy to discuss any issue members may have encountered while playing in an ACBL- sanctioned event and direct them to the proper authority under ACBL regulations.
