TD's Exercises

Exercise on Unauthorised Information

 

  It is GAME ALL and the bidding has been:

 

                             South                 West                    North                      East

                             1nt (1)                P (2)                    P                             2spades

                             P                        4spades

 

  1. 1nt = announced 12 -14 points         (2) After agreed hesitation

 

       4spades makes +620.  1nt would probably go off 3.      How should the TD rule if East holds:

 

  1. S  KQJ743         H 7                    D KQ2                      C 642
  2. Q7532                H K76               D KJ4                       C 43
  3. KJT532              H 875                D ----                        C A532

 

It is GAME ALL and the bidding has been:

   

                              South               West                      North                     East

                               1nt (1)             Pass (2)                 Pass                      Dbl

                               Pass               Pass                     Pass

 

  1. 1nt = announced   12 – 14 points     (2) After agreed hesitation

 

            1nt goes 3 off for North/South -800.          How does the TD rule if East holds:

 

  1. S AQJ                H KQ6               D KJ9                      C QT82
  2. S QJ4                 H KQ6               D KJ9                      C QT82
  3. AT9                    H KQ6               D KJ9                      C QT82
  4. Would The TD's  ruling be different if East was known as a very aggressive doubler and the TD was confident that he would always double with all of these hands?

 

It is GAME ALL and the bidding has been:

 

                                South               West                     North                    East

                                                                                      1h                         Pass

                                 1s                     Pass                     3 spades             Pass

                                 4nt                    Pass                     5d (1)                  Pass

                                 6 spades

 

5d = one ace             (2) Only after agreed hesitation

 

                       West choice of lead a diamond was the only one to defeat the contract. Should the TD allow it if West held any of the following hands?

 

  1.  S K9                      H Q94                   D QJT9                    C J732
  2.  S 97                       H Q94                   D J742                     C QJT9
  3.  S  92                      H Q94                   D J852                     C J852
  4.  J2                           H Q94                   K852                       C  J852

 

  1.  Void
  2.            South                   West                    North                   East

          S: AQT92            S: ----                  S: KJ754              S: 863

          H: AJT7               H: Q2                 H: K93                 H: 8654

          D: 7532                D: AJT84           D: 9                      D: KQ6

          C: ---                    C: QJT974         C: 6532                C: AK8

                                    

                                                          5 clubs makes +750

 

The TD is called at the end of the hand, when it is apparent that West did not have a natural 2nt overcall.   What should the TD rule?
