Announcement or not? ( 09:52:31 SatJul 5 2003 )

Country: Singapore



In ACBL 1NT forcing respond to 1-Major opening is 'announced'. What about a 1NT 'forcing' response to a 1 Major overcall? Is that an announcement or an Alert?

An alert, not an announcement. There is a short list of things to be announced, and this is not on it. Announcements are only for pretty common treatments, and this is not one of them.

It also, in my reading, is not GCC legal. I don't think anyone is going to call you on it, though!

Similarly to this dichotomy, the range of a 1NT overcall is not announced. Transfer advances of the 1NT overcall, however, *are*. Have fun!

Michael.
