Valid complaint?
Local NLM game
I'm sitting North
Bidding (East is dealer):
1S - 2C - 2D! - Pass
3H - Pass - 4S - Pass out
West has S-Axx H-Qxx D-A10x C-Q10xxxx
I (North) have S-xx H-xx D-KQJ9875 C-xx
I didn't bid at my first turn because I assumed that RHO had at least5
diamonds, and partner may take my bid as not natural, and I didn't ask
about the bid during the bidding beacause I didn't want to expose any
opponents' misunderstandings nor my hand.
When dummy came down I asked about the 2D bid and dummy said that he
wanted to make a forcing bid.
Declarer made 6 after a club Ace lead. After the hand I mentioned
that the 2D bid might be a problem in a Sectional, etc, and LHO, who
claimed that she "was in the dark too", called the director to get a
clarification. The director said the bid was OK since "he had some
diamonds".
After the round I told RHO that he should find some other forcing bid,
like 3C and he said "that's not our system". When I pointed out that
the next time he made that bid his partner will know he might be short
in the suit.
Comments?
Do I have a valid complaint?
Thanks.
Don
