with only 9 pts - BOT takes me to 7 level ! ! ! !

I had a "double & bid" hand - i.e., to big to simply overcall my suit. This is in a BOT tourney.

btw: what happened to "South has best hand" last few weeks, South "got to bid" but 3/4 time did not get to play contract.

Getting beyond angry & disgusted when BOTs cannot follow Basic Bridge concepts.

NOW according to all the involved & intricate (let alone convoluted) conventions they want to play --- anyone giving classes:

i.e., happen to personally like Soloway Jump Shift; where in system notes do you explain -- "support jump shift by passed hand" ! ? ? ? AS TAUGHT BY ALL 2/1 teachers, when4-suit Xfers, when declarer "breaks relay" meaning encouraging 3NT contract. GIB does NOT follow: Why give us classes and then NOT correct practice partners in GIBs ? ? ? ?
