July 2008 Any Questions
I would like to remind everyone of the protocol of prompting questions at the end of the auction. The correct sequence is for the person on lead to place the lead facedown on the table. His or her partner may then either ask questions or indicate that there are none. The person on lead must not prompt by saying ‘Any questions partner?’ as this could give an impression that the person on lead is not sure that partner has fully understood the bidding. I am fully aware that in most cases the person on lead prompts because he wishes to get things moving but if he waits even the slowest partner will finally realise that some action is necessary. Partners who are frequently spoon fed are likely to assume that the action is normal which it should not be.
