[blml] Yet another Ghestem misbid

[Laval Dubreuil]

The director ruled that this was an attempted purposeful correction and
the player should complete the correction.

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?
________________________________________________________________________
IMHO, yes.

Law 25B reads: Until LHO calls, a call MAY be substituted....
I see nothing in TFLB about an attempted correction and obligation
to complete the correction...
Law 25 applies when a call IS changed.
"I want to change my call" is UI.

If I am wrong, there is a big problem. Many times a player calls the
TD saying "May I do this and what are consequences". Then he
would have to proceed because he attempted to ?
