Bridge: MSC 202605 vote for our panelist picks

They are hoping for a response in 3-4 weeks, so I expect to submit around April 14, maybe earlier if we have clear leaders

I’ll get this one and the later one in over the next couple of days (got busy here …)

Yech! Normally I don’t make comments, but since there don’t seem to be any, I’ll add mine Saturday.

A) 4S

B) 4S

C) 3N

D) 3N

E) 3N

F) 3C

G) 4S

H) Club 7

Okay, one comment on B) really, down 2 is sort of the worst case (a good sacrifice) and we might make it.

A. 3N. Most likely game

B. 2S. Certainly not only 1S.

C. 2D. Not going to stop short of game, but just bidding 4S or 3N could be better

D. 3N. With 2 diamond stops and some help in clubs, I think this is best. If 4S makes, 3N likely will also.

E. Dbl. Preempts work. Unfortunately there is no bid partner can make that will make me confident of reaching the best contract.

F. 1NT. I don’t think I should bid 3C with only distributional values

G. 3NT. This one seems easiest, since imps.

H. Diamond 3. Spade second choice, but partner did not overcall

Leading
We couldn’t have a leader, which requires agreement by 3. Having agreement by 2 only only 1 question is not a good start.

Oirg has given us a second leader, but we have even 2-way agreement on only 2 others.
