Hi, Ed ! I'll try to dig up a director topic for you. It's just like you never left the coast.

The second column of the convention card has a section called "NOTRUMP OVERCALLS". The question is can one put any range under "direct". Such as 12 to 20? or must it be a restricted range say 4 points?

Declarer is in dummy and the last five or six tricks in dummy are good. Declarer spaces out or gets careless and revokes in her hand while playing the remaining good tricks in dummy. Does this constitute a revoke or is this no harm/no foul?

Thanks

A revoke is a revoke is a revoke. The normal penalties apply. The question of harm is irrelevant.

I believe if you use any range greater than 4 points, you cannot use any conventions over no trump.

I don't seen any restriction on point range for 1NT openings or overcalls, but there are restrictions on responder's/advancer's bids --

From the ACBL General Convention Chart

DISALLOWS use of any conventional responses after natural notrump opening bids or overcalls with a lower limit of fewer than 10 HCP or with a range of greater than 5 HCP (including those that have two non-consecutive ranges)

--SAME RESTRICTION FOR WEAK TWO BIDS which by partnership agreement are not within a range of 7 HCP and do not show at least five cards in the suit.

Ed,

Thanks for doing this. I hope it becomes well used. As a "baby director", I need all the help I can get and forums like this are invaluable.

Thanks,
Don

Is there any lower HCP limit on a first round takeout double? If so, when should it be alertable?
