| The double stands? |
|
Dear Martin, The bidder bids 1♦. This is doubled by the opponent. The bidder's partner then bids 2♦. Everyone passes. Does the double still hold or is it erased when the 2♦ bid is made? Thanks, Reply Martin Sinot Dear JoAnn,After a bid is made, an opponent may double that bid. That double may then also be redoubled by an opponent of the doubler. But when a new bid is made, a double or redouble of the previous bid, if any, is cancelled. So in your case, the final contract is 2♦ undoubled. Regards, Martin Sinot |
