Tramping up and down the playing area has aggravated the blister on my foot and I am back wearing the aircast boot that I had to wear in 2010.
The day was busy with rulings, so no chance to watch the 5000m final. One hand attracted many rulings: these were the East/West hands.
| 8 7 5 | K | |||
| J 10 | W | E | 6 5 3 | |
| J 10 9 4 2 | A K Q 7 3 | |||
| A J 2 | K 9 7 4 |
North/South bid spades and East/West bid diamonds; some times West passed slowly at some point in the auction and East rebid 5♦; some times East passed slowly and West bid 4♦. Usually Pass was ruled to be a logical alternative to bidding again, and clearly partner's slow Pass suggested bidding again (over passing). So in most cases the score was adjusted to North/South playing in the spade contract they had got to.
Lots of players threatened to appeal several of today's ruling (though perhaps not the rulings on this hand) but at the end of the day, and after speaking to cuddly appeal consultants, there were no real appeals.
