mb|p|nt|ahollan1: from the USBF site, you can not only access Sontag-Bates System Summary Form, but also copy of there WBF Convention Card from 2007|pg||

nt|kareno: I would compete to 3@h with the south hand.|pg||
nt|ahollan1: from the top page - the links only give you SSFs [System Summary Forms]|pg||
pc|h3|pc|hK|nt|kareno: But now the double is confusing.  If 2@d shows spades and another, then what is double?|pg||

pc|d4|pc|h6|pc|hT|pg||

nt|mariner1: a @H back will cause an issue|pg||
nt|mariner1: however he can still make it|pg||
nt|Vugraphu8: Bates immobile|pg||
nt|ahollan1: problem for Bates is that Prahin 3N screams double @H stop|pg||

mb|p|mb|p|nt|kareno: It's not clear at this vulnerability whether 5@d was bid as a save or not.|pg||
mb|p|nt|ahollan1: Nussbaum going minues at 5-level in both rooms -- which is biggest reason for Eddie's rule|pg||
nt|mariner1: 5@D was general insurance to 4@S I think|pg||

nt|kareno: Big accident in the CR.  |pg||
nt|ahollan1: doesn't matter which direction -- i'm concerned with which @H were in dummy|pg||
mb|1S|nt|ahollan1: nice shuffle|pg||
nt|ahollan1: how high Prahin?|pg||
nt|kareno: East led a club and didn't shift to a red suit - either would do.|pg||
nt|mariner1: this is the last USBF Trials for today USA time, however we have Australia later|pg||

nt|mariner1: Oz is starting any minute|pg||
nt|kareno: Is Roger really thinking?|pg||
nt|Vugraphu8: oh yes|pg||
nt|mariner1: 6@S made in Closed Room missing two Aces|pg||
nt|mariner1: a violation of Burn's Law (Rules) that works|pg||
nt|kareno: After club ace, east must play a red card.  |pg||
nt|mariner1: http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/burn_law.htm  - Burn's Laws|pg||
mb|p|nt|dburn: unlikely to be violated on this hand, though|pg||
nt|ahollan1: screens or not -- i'll bet North and East know who was in the tank|pg||
nt|mariner1: Burn's also say subtract the number of Aces the Opponents have from 8 and DO|pg||
nt|mariner1: NOT bid at that level|pg||
mb|p|mb|p|nt|kareno: Whoa -- undo please |pg||

nt|kareno: Yes, I would make that shift.|pg||
pc|sJ|pc|s6|pc|s4|nt|ahollan1: only 17 imps difference depending upon next play|pg||
nt|ahollan1: but both only 100 honors|pg||
nt|ahollan1: East does have 150 honors in @C :)|pg||
nt|dburn: some reason to go right - North would probably not bid 6@s with two small clubs himself, since his partner might have a singleton club and no spades|pg||
nt|dburn: but still, it's a tough play|pg||

nt|barnets: looks like he can make now|pg||
nt|barnets: west will get end played|pg||
nt|barnets: cant sto pdec from making long card|pg||
nt|odysseus69: a spectator asks if we agree the 2H overcall|pg||
nt|barnets: no pointed out c ruff 2 diamond and spade for trump promotion|pg||
nt|odysseus69: still cant make|pg||
nt|barnets: dec had to play 3 rounds hearts|pg||
nt|barnets: then def could not stop the contract|pg||
nt|mtvesuvius: yes, that would help him|pg||
nt|mtvesuvius: I like the 2@H overcall, although it is a bit light at this Vul. btw|pg||
nt|barnets: they would have no communication for their clubs|pg||
nt|mtvesuvius: that is the key, and what would eventually allow it to make|pg||
nt|Vugraphu8: Roger is thinking long on this one.|pg||
nt|barnets: now they can beat dec different ways|pg||
nt|barnets: the h7 is a key card|pg||
nt|mtvesuvius: even the 5@H is big enough|pg||
nt|odysseus69: hard to see how club can be wrong here|pg||
nt|barnets: yes but if dec had the 7---|pg||
nt|barnets: cant really go wrong unless he plays a trump which he wont|pg||
nt|odysseus69: worried that pd has akj of diamonds but Sontag would have played D king before heart|pg||
nt|barnets: so evn if he plays the d partner will cash two and lead a spade|pg||
nt|mtvesuvius: @d will beat it 2 I think|pg||
