Hi Bobby,

Trigger finger got out cheaply – shouldn’t 3Sx making by vulnerable opponents be – 730?

Regards,

Iain

Hi Iain,

Yes, definitely always 730, not 530, but since it was Sunday, we were running a sale on those who were competing against vulnerable overcallers and allowed a 200 deduction for NS on all opponent”s scores who went plus.

Although you are technically correct, you
forgot that we offered that advantage, particularly to the unlucky doublers.

However, I’ll forgive you this time, particularly so since I am the chief proofreader and bottle washer, for forgetting, but please do not let it happen again.

Hi Bobby,

January sales and special offers – how could I forget?
