BBO Discussion Forums: Misclick on BBO ACBL tourney - BBO Discussion Forums

my flash wasn't working so had to use windows version so of course I misclicked a bid
auction was 1N by opp 2♣ by me , distracted so thought Cap, but with this partner I play as unspecified major 1 suiter. I realised mistake immediately and alerted as maj 1-suiter

director called I informed him I misclicked. more correct would be I misbid.

director said I should have informed opponents I misclicked

is that right? I didn't think their entitled to that info just meaning of bid made

According to the laws, they're entitled to your agreements. They're not entitled to know that you misbid. I would say a mis-click is in effect a misbid.

OTOH, online "bridge" doesn't always follow the laws, and "rulings" are much more based on the opinion of the TD than on any formal rules.

This doesn't sound like a misclick at all.

True but tfor hese purposes assume misclick since that's what director was telling me what I should have done based on.

your welcome to say director should have told to do such and such if was misbid.

not sure what I was thinking at time, was speedball might have thought it was major suit opening suit opening and was trying to make 2♦ overcall and hit 2♣ then realised opening was 1N so gave alert. all very confusing a) speedball , b) I was using windows program which im not used to

I think you should have just lived with your mistake.

That's what he did, wasn't it? While some online tourneys require you to alert misclicks, acbl does not do so. Steve explained the agreed meaning of 2♣ and that's fine.

Opponents were playing systems on over 2♣ and fortunately partner didn't try to find out my major. So opp had a clean auction to a normal contract and play normal, so no damage was done. There was just puzzlement at why I didn't have a major

"I misbid"/"I misclicked", "sorry".
