  • 2010 Summer NABC Appeals Casebook
    2010 Summer NABC Appeals Casebook Appeals at the 2010 Summer NABC New Orleans, Louisiana FOREWORD The appeal hearings and commentary descriptions are now being compiled and edited by the American Contract Bridge League. They are published on the ACBL web page. This internet publication is intended to be a tool to help improve the abilities of those serving on appeals committees and tournament directors and to communicate decisions and the process to arrive at those decisions to the membership at large. A total of thirty (20) cases were heard. Eight (8) cases were from unrestricted (by masterpoints) North American Bridge Championship Events and were heard by a committee of peers. The names of the players involved are included. Twelve (12) cases were from all other events and were heard by panels (committees) of tournament directors. The names of the players involved are included when the event from which the appeal came was a Flight A/X event or was the top bracket of a bracketed knockout event. When the names of the players are not used, the player’s masterpoint total is included. The cases are first presented without commentary. After the official panel of commentators has had an opportunity to provide their commentary (about 4 weeks) and any corrections to the cases, the commentary is added, corrections made and the internet publication is finalized. Everyone involved in this process is due praise for their efforts. Special thanks to the NABC Appeals Committee and the Tournament Directors serving on the director committees, scribes and commentators. Without their considerable contribution of time and effort, this publication would not exist.

  • I/N News … Especially for You!
    ACBL District 13 presents I/N News … especially for you! Suzi Subeck, Editor Volume 10, Issue 2 Stan Subeck, President Summer, 2010 John Goldstein, Vice President John Pereles, Secretary Jeff Miller, Treasurer Bidding Over Interference by Jim O’Neil Inside This Competitive bids by the opposition can take away valuable bidding space. Often we will be able Issue: to bid as if there had been no interference; but sometimes this will not be possible. There are two important points to remember when dealing with interference: 1) We should stretch to show a fit for partner's suit, especially if that suit is a major. 2) No bid by partner is forcing if RHO does anything other than pass. Partner is guaranteed Bidding over 1 another chance to bid. With minimum values and nothing to show, it is often best to pass. Interference Remember "Majors, Notrump, Minors" Our first priority is to find a playable major suit fit if there is one. The best thing we can do is raise partner's major suit when we have support. If we don't have support for partner's major Fast Arrival 9 suit, we can introduce our own major suit - either by bidding the suit, or making a "Negative Double". If we do not have a major suit fit, we should next look to Notrump - our second priority is to to show partner a stopper or stoppers in the opponents' suit; we can show our strength at the same Did You Know? 9 bid. If we lack a major suit fit, we can look to raise partner's minor suit, or to introduce a minor suit of our own.

  • 1 RENO CASE BOOK Foreword This Marks My First Venture As Editor Of
    RENO CASE BOOK Foreword This marks my first venture as editor of this Case Book. In a departure from previous efforts, this volume has three new features. The Table of Contents is now a subject reference to the cases for quick reference. The purpose is to help a reader find the right case. At the end we have excerpts of every Law cited by a committee or panel member. The purpose is to help a reader find the relevant section of Law and see how it applied to that case. The third new feature is a brief explanation how to handle certain problem areas. Finally, at the Summer Meeting our ACBL Board of Directors adopted a new system to regulate appeals without merit. As a service, this new policy is reprinted here starting on page 7. As with previous Case Books, however, the main focus will be on the cases and panel comments. It is my hope the readers find them insightful and easy to understand. There are so many people who contribute to a project of this size. First, the committee members who contributed so much time to listen to these cases in the first place. Second, the committee chairs who were responsible for the write ups you will be reading. Third, the panel members who read every case and freely gave us their thoughts so that we all can learn. Fourth, Alan LeBendig, Jon Brissman and Karen Allison, who organized the committees and showed their expertise and experience in providing guidance to all. Fifth, to those many nameless ACBL employees without whom this book could never be printed.
