Scoring: MoneyBridge


Bidding starts 1NT-2♦. I looked at my options, 2NT shows 4333, 2♠ and 3♣ show a doubleton and 3♦ shows 4-5♦s :D I thought this was an error (but I guess 3♥ showed doubleton ♦ - forgot to check) and bid 3♦. The rest of the auction went:

1NT - 2♦ (showing 5+♥!!!)
3♦ - 3NT
4♥ - 5♦
5♥ - 6♦
6♥ - 7♦
7♥ - pass

What the hell was that all about? I guess the explanation was right (my bid wrong), but he started with a transfer showing 5+♥ (he had only 4) and thought that when I kept showing ♥ support, a higher level with ♦ as trumps would still be better, 3 times in a row!! :blink:

Lucky it was 'for fun' ;)

Yup I had roughly the same problem

I told GIB I wanted to play some contract by bidding it. GIB with 2 points and 6 of his suit to the Q corrected to 4 of it... and 5 of it..... and 6 of it.... and 7 of it.....

This has to be the closest I have seen to a genuine and consistent BUG in the GIB bidding structure.
