PROBLEM E:>>  Leaving in  1NT  can't be hideous,  but 2 , 2, [size=78%] or 2[/size]   should be fine too.  The trouble is  when I hear 2 diamonds, after my retreat to 2 clubs, I am gonna raise it.  That could get embarrassing.  But I have learned that the 6-9 point-range for pard's 1NT rebid turns out to be 10 points really often.
                   ---Two Clubs---

PROBLEM F:>>  Last month's companion board ( Problem E)  was  AKQxxx, ---, K, AKJTxx.   There probably won't be serious objection from the panel  with the assigned 2    opening with this 21-count,  but there will be with the o-so-similar 16-count here. 
                  ---One Spade---

PROBLEM G:>> 

Nice predicting  on prob.D, Todd!   KQTx,AQ, xxx, AKxx      1c, (1h), p, [p] " ONE NOTRUMP--unanimous by the panel"      25 out of 28 qualifies

[/i]
PROBLEM E:
It seems partner has some values and some hearts, though not a suit good enough to respond 2 (maybe KTxxx or similar?). So WHAT IS 4 ? Surely it cannot be an offer of strain. Can it? We have shown a two-suited hand. To offer a new suit at the four level is nuts. So what is it?

I think it's a good club raise (flag bid). It does NOT necessarily sh ow a control (there is not enough room to pack all of that into the bid). Could it include the A? Yes.   

   Hmm;  We have bid spades once and clubs once, abeit above 3NT.  Partner has bid hearts once. I can't rule out thaat we belong in diamonds by what has been bid so far--I don't even insist that south must have ten+ black cards.. so I would treat 4 Diamonds as a bid I COULD RAISE  while realizing that 4   must wear many hats.


edited to get Blu's comments separate from the quote from Todd -jcreech

For problem B:  we bid  3     with 10x,  10 8 x x, QTxx, Qxx because that is less likely to catch a RAISE, than   3 is.   There is some kind of chance that Mr. Spades may rebid hearts himself  whereupon we can DROP HIM    ( I really am not enthused with this hand, ok?).  One quoted panelist pointed out that partner might pull     3   to a 6-card spade suit,  but leave us in a lousy 3   situation...  All the better for 3   if true.

I am leaning toward bidding the most boring, sleepwalking rebid that can occur to any of us  on ALL the bidding problems --except problem F, where i am certainly slam hunting.   This is not a good sign hence we have no  Early-Bird  guesses until late on  the eighth.


A:>> (1)  Competing to 2NT for a make THINKING THAT THE OPPS' OVERCALL IS ALSO MAKING  is not this kind of 9-count.  (2)  moving on to some 4-3 or4-2 major fit  makes me ill.  (3) raising  -- forget #3.  raising is o-u-t out.   That leaves going for the +200--and getting -180 once in a while.  final word:                                                     ---PASS---
B:>>   Right now the hint has me aboard.  Our two  non-openers have not "blossomed".  I will sign off, and the opp's are welcome to their 3H competition.  Somebody talk me out of THIS one.
                          ---2 Spades---
                         
C:>>  This is such a beautiful problem,  it would be a shame  to start with the obvious simple raise.  Bidding "around the clock" --  3 clubs now, then a heart jump  ( or splinter to 5!D should north rebid his hearts.  Then, there is the temptation to rebid the spades first and who knows how many fun bids will we have in the later rounds.  For the real bashers,  there may be the mighty leap to 5     meaning exclusion RKC but that's not gonna float in the MSC.

D:>>  The heart AQ, along with the correct point-count cannot be denied.  If I reopened with a double and heard a spade response, i swear  I would convert to notrump even then.
                          ---1 Notrump---

 E:>>  Five Clubs may help partner bid slam holding the measly black suit help we need;  Four Spades will not.
That is enough for me to stop worrying about hitting a completely worthless dummy which would means the four level  is out last chance of a plus ( two black singletons might might bring home 5 clubs after all)
                 ---Five Clubs---

F:>>  I didn't think of Jim's dog-walking idea so was content  with the cue-bid for an answer.  It would be ideal if partner was moved to Blackwood after that--very nice.  What bid shows 3 of five + a void, by the way.
                 ---Four Spades---
 
G:>>         __Three spades---    ( and leave him in 3NT hehehe )


H:>>   Deschapelles Coup  from trick one!   for a 30 score I suppose
                 --- Diamond Queen ---

LOL, Todd    re:  problem Bee.  POOR values, yes, but SCATTERED values  is an overstatement?
    Ohh,  I completely forgot about that club queen  sorry

PROBLEM H:>>    bidding:                pass
                                             1                1
                                                       pass
                                              2               2
                                               3               3NT.... swish


Dummy can be counted on to have a 3-suter as bid.  Declarer ,however seems to have used artificial  4SF for his 2 Heart rebid.   ..Now, I have put off  for 3 weeks deciding WHICH little heart to lead, but suddenly see that hearts is not the suit to attack!   Wouldn't East, with a small singleton heart bid 3 spades to "command"  west take the notrump?  So his 3NT will deliver some heart helper.  yukk.  it comes down to a guess between the doubleton ten  and jack-third , just like last month.
   This makes 3 deals in a singe month where 3 spades shouldbe treated as some sort of "last train to notrumpville".  i hope i am right all 3 times.
