COMITTEE ACTION XLIIIPart Iby Rich Colker, rcolker@worldnet.att.natIn 2003 the International Team Trialswere almost appeal free. Almost, that is,except for one case which, oddly enough,occurred on the first day, in the very firstsession of the opening round-robin. Thecase, which evoked a good deal of discussionamong appeals aficionados, illustrates acouple of instructive points. Here’s whathappened (note: screens in use).Bd: 3Dlr: SouthVul: E/WNORTH♠ KQ65♥ K5♦ K762♣ K109WESTEAST♠ 42♠ AJ3♥ AQJ32 ♥ 874♦ J985 ♦ AQ4♣ 65♣ AJ84SOUTH♠ 10987♥ 1096♦ 103♣ Q732ScreenScreenWEST NORTH EAST SOUTHPassPass 1NT(1) Dbl(2) 2♣2♦ (3) Pass 2NT(4) Pass3♥ All Pass(1) 12-14 HCP(2) A good hand (14+ HCP or better), notnecessarily balanced(3) Intended as a transfer to hearts(4) Undiscussed but intended as a constructivegame move3♥ made four, +170 for E/W. TheDirector was called at the end of the auction- 17 -(before the opening lead) when E/W discoveredthat the 2♣ bid had been explained differentlyon the two sides of the screen. Southtold West that 2♣ showed clubs and a highersuit but might also be the start of a scramble(N/S’s actual agreement). North told Eastthat 2♣ was simply clubs and a higher suit,leaving out the part about the scramble. Nowthat may seem like a fairly unimportant differencebut not to this E/W pair, who playedthat an opponent’s suit was known all bidswere natural but when no suit was known“system on” applied, as if the doubler hadopened 1NT himself. Since West knew noneof South’s suits for certain he thought his 2♦bid was a transfer to hearts. But East, who“knew” that South held clubs for certain,thought West’s 2♦ bid was natural.Another problem for E/W was that theyhad not discussed what 2NT meant after atransfer in this situation. If East had opened1NT and rebid 2NT over West’s transfer itwould have shown a good hand with threecardsupport. But as East might have doubled1NT with a source of tricks of his ownmight he not refuse to accept a transfer intoa suit in which he held a singleton or a weakdoubleton and bid 2NT hoping to be able totake eight tricks rather than play in a weaksix- or seven-card fit? Being suspicious ofEast’s (undiscussed) 2NT bid, at the end ofthe auction West passed the note with hisexplanation of his 2♦ bid (“intended astransfer but undiscussed”) under the screenso that North would know the correct meaningof the bid in case East had misexplainedit. When East passed a note backsaying “not a transfer, we know one of theirsuits!” West realized that they had beengiven different explanations and called theDirector.The Director’s ruling was based in largepart on two sections of the Conditions of
