Muddle over RKCB
Please can you tell me how this should be adjudicated?
Only N and S bidding.
N opens 1C and S responds 1H
N bids 4NT and S alerts RKCB and responds 5D
At this point N announces aloud "I have got myself in a muddle" and bids 6C.
Smiles aside, N did get themselves in a muddle and has a void in HEARTS!
N has made an error with the 4NT but the pair do play this and S's 5D response is appropriate for their hand.
Comments
South has Unauthorised Information which he must avoid taking advantage of. Depending on the hands and their further agreements, it may well be that South should be bidding 6H at this point, and if so an adjustment should be considered, as well as a clear explanation to South of his responsibilities when in receipt of UI.
