The application can be viewed at http://appealdb.com. In order to make it useful we are trying to convert passed casefiles in PDF from into Database. I included New Orleans and Chicago (2015) and The European Teams Championships (2004 and 2010). However I need some help converting other casefiles as I need some time to work on project. So if anybody feels like helping please contact me. There is a form which makes the entry easy. Also all input regarding the project is welcome. If you have something to add or any suggestions don't hesitate to contact me. The source code is open sourced at https://github.com/defiant/appealDB Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately my financial situation has so deteriorated that the need to earn money has left me with little time for such unpaid work. In principle I'd be glad to help but my financial needs are pressing and thus, as said, I have little time.

With no claiming statement, but he states at the table that he will play a club to the board, come back to his hand, and his last two cards are good. The spade is good. So far, an easy ruling. I let him play this out, so he can see how this plays out for losing two tricks, and when he said he would ruff a club, with all cards visible, defender said she would overfuff. "The Director may accept it as evidence of the players' probably lays subsequent to the claim." Right, there is no way he can lose more than one trick if she defends that way. From hermandw at skynet.be Tue Nov 29 19:58:52 2016 From: hermandw at skynet.be (Herman De Wael) Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2016 19:58:52 +0100 Subject: [BLML] Claim In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <583DCFEC.4020400@skynet.be> We must assume that claimer forgot the outstanding trump, right? I have written, for myself, a few guidelines that I apply. One of these is that claimers that believe all tricks are theirs, will play long suits, then high cards, only then trumps. And of course within these suits in any order. So the normal plays in this lay-out are - playing two round of clubs, finishing with two trumps; - playing the spade and a club; - playing one club, one ruff and the spade In all those cases defenders get just one trick. That would be my ruling. Herman. Robert Frick wrote: > -- > -- > -- > AQJx > > -- > Q > 98 > x > > 10 > 32 > -- > x > > > Hearts are trump, declarer claims the rest.
