[blml] Yet another Ghestem misbid

[David Barton]

Well this one combines the 2 topics on everyone's hate list,
a Ghestem misbid and L25B.

The auction starts 1H from W and 3C overcall from N.
As the 3C bid hits the table, the bidder states
"That is not the bid I should be making - Director please".

The director ruled that this was an attempted purposeful correction and
the player should complete the correction.
2C was offered as the correction and declined by offender's LHO.
Offender then opted to let his original call stand, thereby causing his
partner to pass for 1 round.

The complete auction was then
1H 3C X P
3N P P P

                    93
                    82

Q1 At the stage that N has indicated that he wished to change his bid,
but has not yet done so, could he elect to remain with his original call
and not go through L25B?

Q2 What are the UI implications of electing to change to 2C and then
letting the call of 3C stand? In particular should S still be bidding as if
it showed Spades + Diamonds?

Q3 What lead penalties should apply?
