Yes – [Law 27A1 may only be used] in the presence of the Director!

Richard Hills:

Incorrect. Law 9 says a player "may" (failure to do it is not wrong) draw attention to an irregularity. And Law 27A1 says acceptance of an insufficient bid means that it is "treated as legal". Hence when my RHO perpetrates an insufficient bid I routinely accept it without wasting the Director's time.

Only when Law 27B (Insufficient Bid not Accepted) applies do I summon the Director, so as to protect my RHO's rights under Laws 10 and 11.

Best wishes,

Richard Hills
