Rotated to South declarer: originally board: 12
South with 11 HCPs (a "Rule of Twenty" 22 count equivalent) opened
a clear 1
.
North responded with a clear 1
.
South rebid a clear 1
.
North answered that with a clear 1N.
South at IMPs bid a non forcing 2
.
North chose spades well with 2
.
South referred to some idea of a Last Hurray peaking at tournament score table,
considered the somewhat much less probable idea of an IMP based, otherwise
even probable Masterpoint or Money Award probabity calculation and bid in
many opinions a now "outrageous", now "totally ridiculous",
now "somewhat interesting", now "dangerously other than clearcut"
4
.
In baseball, it's like bunting needed 12 runs with bases loaded and none out,
and then no such thing...a rationale and clearcut necessity for final award
pursuers ignoring the short term ideas of probability.
It's the big picture before realizing that too many would be proved wrong
and the cost of the inconvenience to those valued, perhaps to very needy and
dependent group of powerful majority somewhat ignorant and self-satisfied
complacent not ne'er do wells...perhaps not total scum of the earth, considers
of dumping a deal or tournament or title to something somehow a compelling
boss...or power that be.
A 7 card fit (Moysian) with 11 HCP opposite 8 HCP should be a blasphemy to
those teaching Beginners and Novices and probably intermediates...a contamination
for other than at least Advanced....maybe experts....but who knows that chairs
and rules and present at Appeals committees.
You know?
I dunno.
