Re: Insufficient Stayman

David Grabiner:

Players are not supposed to waive rectification on their own; proper procedure is to ask the Director to waive the rectification.

Richard Hills:

Incorrect. Law 27A1 (acceptance of an in-rotation insufficient bid) or Laws 27A2 / 29A (acceptance of an out-of-rotation insufficient bid) are NOT waivers of rectification; rather they are in-principle legal options for the non-offending side.

David Grabiner:

  (In this case, the Director would probably have allowed South to correct his bid without any restrictions, even if South's correct response was no longer 3C Stayman, or if 3C had a different meaning such as Puppet Stayman.)

Richard Hills:

With that point I agree. Technically Stayman is a relay, hence replacing insufficient Stayman with sufficient Stayman is a comparable call pursuant to Law 23A3.

Best wishes,

Richard Hills
