[blml] Nondisclosure

[Wayne Burrows]

20 Board Match - National Trial
System Cards have been sent in weeks in advance.  There was an
opportunity to register changes at a meeting immediately before play
began in the first match.  This is match three on the evening of the
first day.

Board One

1C (1S*) ?

* Either diamonds or both majors

This method over a natural 1C has not been disclosed on their card nor
any verbal mention made of this defense.

Do you ...

1.  Allow this method

2.  Disallow this method?

Assume you allow the method ...

Do you ...

1.  Allow the opponents time to prepare a counter-defense

2.  Allow no time for the opponents to prepare

3.  Allow the opponents to prepare a defense but any time taken is
considered playing time

4.  As for 3 but charge any initial overrun in time solely to the side
that did not disclose

5. Something else that I have not thought of.

Are there any circumstances in which you think it would be reasonable
to allow the method and not let their opponents have any time to
prepare a defense against this method (or a different method if that
is part of your circumstances).


Thanks

Wayne
