Announcement for next public duplicate bridge game. I tried to get this in ANNOUNCEMENTS but do not have a Web page and it would not SAVE.

Next game scheduled for March 8, 12:45 pm at Boulder Ridge.

Kantor's Rule #7. A takeout double by a passed hand shows 9-11 HCP with shortness in the opener’s suit. If the opponents have bid two suits, the double promises at least four-card support for both unbids. You hold: ♠ AJxx ♥ xx ♦ KJ10xx ♣ xx South (you) West North East Pass 1♣ Pass 1♥Dbl. You show both unbid suits with your double. A 2♦ overcall might lose a spade fit.
