In this year's International team trials in US a jumior team had also given entry. They shocked everybody by reaching quarter finals. The young team
consisted of John Kranyak, Kent Mignocchi, John hurd, Joel Wooldbridge & Joe Grue.
This week's deal shows one of the deals where this young team had gained.
High level pre-empts are one of the headaches for Strong Club systems.This week's deal also shows this aspect lucidly.
Peter Weichsel playing for Johnson-Meltzer team opened strong (precision) one
. Kent Mignocchi over called 2
with nothing except five card suit.
Alan Sontag doubled which showed 6+HCP. Now Joe Grue raised partner to 3
which Weichsel doubled. This got passed around.
Mignocchi was playing 3
doubled and gave a penalty of 800 where 6
by EW was cold. At other table juniors bid and made this contract when there was
no interference for a gain of 11 IMPs.
