<P>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.</P>
<P>This week's deal shows one of the deals where this young team had gained.</P>
<P>High level pre-empts are one of the headaches for Strong Club systems.This week's deal also shows this aspect lucidly.</P>
<P>Peter Weichsel playing for Johnson-Meltzer team opened strong (precision) one <IMG SRC="c.gif"ALT="C">. Kent Mignocchi over called 2 <IMG SRC="s.gif"ALT="S"> with nothing except five card suit.
Alan Sontag doubled which showed 6+HCP. Now Joe Grue raised partner to 3 <IMG SRC="s.gif"ALT="S"> which Weichsel doubled. This got passed around.</P>
<P>Mignocchi was playing 3 <IMG SRC="s.gif"ALT="S"> doubled and gave a penalty of 800 where 6 <IMG SRC="c.gif"ALT="C"> by EW was cold. At other table juniors bid and made this contract when there was
no interference for a gain of 11 IMPs.</P>
