| Was that a legal bid? |
We've talked about this before, but... it's important for all our players to review the ACBL Open Chart (in the ACBL document library), which governs the conventions and bids that can be used in club play. We had an instance on Saturday morning where an experienced player opened 2C (marked on his card as a very strong opener). He had 10 high-card points and a very strong suit. Was that a legal bid??? NO! The Open Chart defines a very strong hand (among other options) as having at least 5 control points - where an Ace = 2 points, and a King = 1 point. So... it is not possible, with 10 HCP, to have 5 control points. Illegal bid!
