White Book – November 2003 – Chapter V 26.3 Law 26 [Lead penalties] [WBFLC] If a call refers to a mixture of specified and unspecified suits then Law 26B applies. For example, if a player withdraws a Ghestem 3 showing diamonds and hearts then Law 26A applies, with the specified suits being diamonds and hearts. If a player bids a Michaels 2 showing spades and a minor Law 26A does not apply since the suits are not all specified so the Director must use Law 26B. [WBFLC minutes 2000-01-20#11] 26.4 Law 26 [Lead penalties and calls out of rotation] [WBFLC] Does Law 26 ever apply when another Law has not referred the Director there? That is quite possible. However, the Committee knows of no case where this applies with a call out of rotation. [WBFLC minutes 2001-10-30#4] Law 27 Insufficient Bid 27.1 Corrected before the TD arrives Any attempt to correct an insufficient bid before the TD arrives is cancelled, but such correction is unauthorised information and subject to lead penalties under Law 26. The TD shall explain the whole of the Law, after which the next player can accept the original insufficient bid. Failing that the rest of Law 27B applies. This means the attempted correction may not be accepted. 27.2 Law 27 [Insufficient bid corrected] [WBFLC] See reference to Law 25B1 in #25.6 Law 29 Procedure after a Call out of rotation 29.1 Laws 29C and 31A [Bid out of rotation at RHO’s turn is conventional] [WBFLC] Suppose a player bids 1, artificial and strong, out of turn. Since this specifies no denomination then there is no denomination for the purposes of Law 31. So, assuming it was at RHO’s turn, it was not condoned and RHO does not pass, then Law 31A2A cannot apply, since there is no denomination to repeat, so Law 31A2B must be applied. [WBFLC minutes 2001-10-30#7 and Schedule] Law 31 Bid out of rotation 31.1 Law 31A [Bid out of rotation at RHO’s turn is conventional] [WBFLC] See reference to Law 29C in #29.1 39
White Book – November 2003 – Chapter V Law 32 Double or redouble out of rotation 32.1 Double or redouble at LHO's turn The law-makers appear to have forgotten the possibility of a double or redouble at LHO's turn to call. See Law 31B for how a bid is handled. By comparison with that Law we deduce that if the offender has previously called then a double or redouble out of rotation is treated as a change of call, and Law 25 applies. An opening double or redouble at LHO's turn to call is inadmissible, of course, and is dealt with under Law 36. It is cancelled. Since the offender cannot substitute a legal call he does not do so, but offender’s partner is silenced and lead penalties may apply. Law 39 Call after final pass 39.1 Final sentence of Law 39B Note that the final sentence (in parentheses) of Law 39B may be misplaced since it applies to Law 39A as well. Thus Law 35D applies even when a pass or call <strong>by</strong> the declaring side after the final pass is followed <strong>by</strong> another call. Law 40 Partnership understandings 40.1 Psychic calling 40.1.1 General The regulations for psychic calling are contained in the Orange book. Note that this includes regulations for and definitions of misbids and deviations. A few additional matters are included below. 40.1.2 Departure from partnership understanding is not necessarily a psyche A player who shows a seven-card suit with only six, has not psyched, nor has a player who opens a 12-14 HCP 1NT with only 11 HCP. This is called a deviation (see Orange book). Repeated instances of such circumstances become partnership understandings if partner knows they happen. Then they must be disclosed, and if not permitted must not be repeated. In August 2000, the WBFLC said "a partnership understanding exists when the frequency of occurrence is sufficient for the partner of a psycher to take his awareness of psychic possibilities into account, whether he does so or not." 40.1.3 Adjustment for Fielding See #90.4.2 for how to adjust a score when the TD rules a psyche, misbid or deviation as Red. 40
