This is not clear case... If the player mumbled any other number than 13, we could assume that could be the number of the HCP's he holds. But here he could be telling the whole table that he holds 13 cards ( I have done that ) Vigfus ----- Upprunaleg skilaboð ----- Frá: "Robert Frick" <[email protected]> Til: "Bridge Laws Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Miðvikudagur, 1. Febrúar, 2017 02:50:35 Efni: [BLML] L16A A player mumbles "13", telling the whole table his HCP. This is a simple ruling: 1. Everything partner does is UI [except as listed in the laws]. So it's UI to his partner. 2. Everything the opponent does is AI [except as listed in the laws]. So it's AI to the opponents. This is EXACTLY the structure L16A should have. L16A currently has the wrong structure. To actually follow L16A, you would first decide if this is part of the legal procedures of the game, then rule it AI to EVERYONE (if it did) or UI to EVERYONE (if it didn't). In other words, L16A is worthless. It would be like using a London Subway map to get to Times Square -- you better already know how to get there, or have another map. The examples are endless: An opponent shows you a card from his hand. UI. A player tells the director why he made an insufficient bid. AI to everyone, or UI to everyone? Okay. Partner explains your bid. That is part of the procedures of the game, so according to L16A it's AI to everyone, including you. Fortunately, we have a different map, L16B, which gives the right answer. However, L16B DOES NOT APPLY -- it applies only to Extraneous Information from partner. Awkward, right? Then L16B says "For example, ..." Example of what? An example of things that should be UI even if L16A says they are AI? Really, you are supposed to know the general principle that these are examples of. Or how do you expand to the things that are not on the list? If you rewrite the rule with the correct structure, it's really clear and elegant and useful. You will love it. _______________________________________________ Blml mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rtflb.org/mailman/listinfo/blml _______________________________________________ Blml mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rtflb.org/mailman/listinfo/blml
