Board 13 needs a Pass by North then shift all the other bids right to line up with correct bidding.

[@LadyK_]

Board 13 is a mess.

[@elikenyon8589]

I thought you needed 12 HCP to bid. Two aces and a king is 11.

[@jim2017]

How can nt open with 3❤ and 4 pts. Then east doubles with 5❤??‽?

[@pamelamartin3000]

Wonderful ! Pamela

[@lynnearlyriser]

Is there a minimum amount of points you must have to DBL ?

[@bridgelesson]

Yes. You should usually have an opening hand (12+ points).

[@bridgelesson]
