WEST NORTH EAST SOUTH
Pass 3S 4H 4S
5H Pass Pass (1) 5S
6H All Pass
(1) Break in tempo
----------------------------------------------------------
The Facts:
6H made six, plus 1430 for E/W. The Director was called by
West before South bid 5S. West thought South had ended the
auction with a verbal Pass. In reality South stated he
thought East had hesitated before East said Pass. The
Director ruled that South had not bid and the auction
continued.
After the hand was over the Director was called back to the
table. The Director ruled that the break in tempo made
doubling 5S a logical alternative for West.
The contract was changed to 5S doubled down two, plus 500
for E/W.
West stated that he did not agree there had been a break in
tempo. The screening Director stated that North, East and
South had all previously agreed there had been a break in
tempo.
----------------------------------------------------------
The Appeal:
E/W appealed the Director's ruling. South and West appeared
before the Committee.
West stated that he was under the impression that during an
auction, that escalated to high levels quickly, players
should slow their tempo. He was disconcerted by the fact
that North had made a rather fast pass after the 5H bid.
South stated that due to a physical problem manipulating
the bidding cards, his partner's tempo did sometimes vary.
West stated he bid 5H over 4S because his partnership (each
have about 250 masterpoints) was inexperienced and he did
not think they had the mechanics to get to 6H. He could
safely bid 5H after partner's vulnerable 4H bid. He thought
that there were no heart losers but there might be a spade
and diamond loser.
West did not consider bidding 5C over 4S. Once South bid
5S, West no longer thought their side had a spade loser and
that both 5S and 6H might make. When asked to demonstrate
the length of the tempo break, South simulated an eight
second break.
----------------------------------------------------------
The Committee Decision:
The Committee decided that there was a break in tempo and
that the 6H bid could not be allowed. The Committee did not
agree with the West analysis of probable losers. The
Committee agreed there was probably no spade loser,
probably only one diamond loser, but did not agree the
hearts were guaranteed to be solid.
The Committee next decided whether West would double 5S.
East had stated that part of the reason he had bid 6H was
because 5S might make. The Committee, however, believed
that if East had passed in tempo, West probably would have
doubled 5S.
The Committee then gave thought to whether East would pull
an in-tempo double to 6H as cheap insurance. Since E/W was
the offending side, the standard required to allow East to
take the best action for his side is quite high. In this
case the standard could not possibly be met because East
had chosen not to appear before the Committee.
Based on the statements heard, the Committee decided they
could not find any basis to overturn the Director's ruling.
The contract was changed to 5S doubled down two, plus 500
for E/W.

WEST NORTH EAST SOUTH
- - - Pass
Pass 1D 1H 1NT
Pass 2D All Pass
----------------------------------------------------------
The Facts:
2D made three, plus 110 for N/S. Originally, South had
placed the 1H bid card on the table. When the insufficiency
of the bid was called to his attention, South immediately
stated that he had intended to bid 1NT. The Director was
called.
Away from the table, South was firm in his statement that
he had intended to bid 1NT and did not know how he had
managed to place the 1H card on the table. Away from the
table, West told the Director that if he were allowed to,
he would accept the 1H bid and bid 1S. The Director ruled
that South's 1H call was inadvertent and could be changed
to 1NT (Law 25A) and that the table result would stand.
----------------------------------------------------------
The Appeal:
E/W appealed the Director's ruling. South stated that he
did not notice that his call was 1H when he pulled the card
from the box, when he transported the card to the table, or
when he placed it on the table. South stated he was left-
handed and had been using his right hand to handle the
bidding cards a bit clumsily.
----------------------------------------------------------
The Committee Decision:
The pivotal issue before the Committee was whether South's
1H call was inadvertent. South pulled a card which was not
next to the allegedly intended 1NT card, but separated from
it by the 1S card. It seemed a somewhat remarkable
coincidence that South had such a clear 1H call had he not
seen the 1H bid by East.
On the other hand, when the insufficiency of the bid was
called to South's attention, he immediately said that he
had intended to bid 1NT.
The problem the Committee dealt with was how to weigh the
evidence of inadvertency. Clearly South was quite negligent
if not inadvertent. A person careless enough not to check
his own bid, might have been careless enough to not notice
his right-hand opponent's bid. The Committee struggled with
the problem of how much imprudence should be tolerated in
order to make a finding of inadvertence.
In a split decision, the Committee used the Director's
finding of credibility at the table to be determinative of
the issue. In cases where a finding of credibility is made
at the table, it is sometimes appropriate when the evidence
is not clear to use the Director's finding of credibility
as the default position for the Committee. The Committee
allowed the table result, 2D made three, plus 110 for N/S
to stand.
----------------------------------------------------------
Dissenting Opinion: Jan Cohen. As one who does not believe
in coincidences, I was too troubled by both the fact that
South held five hearts and that the 1H bid card is two
cards away from the 1NT card to vote that South really
intended to bid 1NT.

New Life Masters
JACK BRAUNER of Maplewood NJ won more than enough points to
become a Life Master when his team placed first in the
Flight B Swiss Teams yesterday. He was playing with David
Liss of Morristown NJ, and their teammates were Ringo Chung
and Vinay Sarin.
PATTY RIFFEL of Pocahontas AR also earned her gold card in

Q-Plus wins pair game in computer challenge
Q-Plus Bridge, the computer program developed by Johannes
Leber of Germany, was the overall winner in the two-session
pair game which is part of the Baron Barclay World Computer
Bridge Challenge.
The German program also won the bidding contest conducted
Tuesday as part of the week-long computer competition.
As winner of the two-session pair game, which included
human opponents, Q-Plus qualified to play in another
competition later in the week.
The second session of the pair game was won by Japan's
entry in the contest, Micro Bridge 8. David Yates
represented Micro Bridge's creators, Tomio and Yumio
Uchida.
Tuesday's bidding contest featured 25 hands, most of them
from a Bridge Today magazine article entitled "Bridge
Challenge '97" and written by Larry Cohen of Boca Raton FL.
The hands came from the World Top Tournament in which 16
world-class pairs competed.
Q-Plus finished first at minus 27, Bridge Baron 7 was
second at minus 37 and BridgeMate 2.16 and Micro Bridge 8
tied for third-fourth at minus 41.5.
Al Levy, the ACBL Board member who helped organize the
computer bridge challenge, said the showing by the computer
programs was "not bad considering that they were scored on
a datum established by the best players in the world."

Kaplan, Rapee ousted from Spingold action
All but one of the top eight seeds in the Spingold Knockout
Teams advanced to the round of 16 today, although there
were some close calls.
The top-seeded team led by Nick Nickell trampled the
Cameron Doner squad, 186-37; #2 Steve Robinson and company
walloped the Steve Price squad, 154-99, and #3 Jimmy Cayne
blasted Marshall Miles' squad, 145-46.
The giant-killing #4 seed, led by David Klein, had the
easiest time of all. The team that knocked off the star-
studded Richard Schwartz squad on Tuesday was leading the
Janet Colchamiro foursome 159-72 after three quarters when
the Colchamiro group withdrew.
The highest seed to fall on Wednesday was the squad led by
Edgar Kaplan. They fell to Glenn Eisenstein, Richard
DeMartino, John Stiefel, Martin Fleisher, John Rengstorff
and Chris Willenken.
The powerful Rita Shugart team -- Zia, Michael Rosenberg,
Andy Robson, Tony Forrester and Geir Helgemo -- struggled
most of the day with Joe Jabon, Jim Aitken, Harry Steiner,
Henry Lortz, Wayne Ohlrich and Haskell Fuller before
prevailing, 109-91. The Shugart sextet led by only 6 IMPs
going into the final 16 boards.
The biggest comeback of the day belonged to the team
captained by Mark Gordon. The Gordon squad lost the first
quarter to the team led by Allan Siebert, 42-6, and trailed
by 29 entering the final quarter. Gordon and company won
the fourth quarter, 57-15, to emerge with a 139-126
victory.
In another close match, the Bill Pollack squad knocked off
Joey Silver's team, 113-108.
In another upset, the #13 seed, captained by George Rapee,
went down to the squad led by Mike Moss, 170-128.
