Directors and irregularities By Brent Manley New players have a lot to get used to. Among the challenges are director calls and the outcomes when irregularities occur. For those who don’t know, the Laws of defines irregularity as “a deviation from correct procedure inclusive of, but not limited to, those which involve an infraction by a player.” Examples include leads and calls out of turn, insufficient bids, exposed cards, penalty cards and . In case you are wondering about “call,” that term includes all bids, passes, doubles and redoubles. All bids are calls, but not all calls are bids. Some players mistakenly consider a call for a director to be an accusation. Of course, that you could have seen them, the lead is deemed to you will learn why that is the wisest course. feeling can be influenced by the tone of the call.

Many players look upon the laws as punishment When it comes to irregularities, there is one With some irregularities, there are too many for transgressions. This opening statement in thing for new players to remember: Call the factors for most players, especially new ones, to the introduction to the laws aims to dispel that director. Do not make your own rulings, and do not consider.

Chances are the “expert” is not as well-versed bid, tries 2♣. When the director comes, he will when there is a departure from correct procedure. on the laws as he thinks he is. ask if 2♣ was artificial, i.e., Stayman. If you and They are primarily designed not as punishment The key point is that when one of your partner have another way of bidding Stayman over for irregularities but rather for the rectification opponents makes a mistake, you probably have interference, perhaps 3 ♦ in this case, partner can of situations where non-offenders may otherwise options you don’t know about. make that bid and there is no further problem.
