[blml] A new fun game

Finally the ruling I was dreading:

               West         North          East          South
               1C            pass             1H           dbl
	    pass         2D                1NT

Under the old rules, I can allow East to bid to 2NT without penalty,
but now, she wanted to show 6-10 and I suppose 2NT might show
10-11 say.  Clearly not "incorporated" under the new Act. So I
should allow no change which allows partner to stay in the bidding.

However, I tell them all about incorporates etc.  and then decide to
allow a change to 2NT without penalty to see what happens.  All
pass so no problem perhaps?   I still think TPTB want us to allow
all the previously allowed changes and then some.  If I had applied the
strict meaning of the Law, the 2NT correction would have barred
partner, a result earnestly to be hoped for by the 6-10 holder.

Cheers,

Tony (Sydney)
