I had prior opportunity to takeout, seems silly that there is no way to wield my axe.

One of GIB's worst problems is that bidding descriptions often show delayed actions to show the same (sometimes even more!) strength and shape than immediate ones. Of course you are right, you would have doubled 2H if you wanted takeout. This would appear to be one of the easier fixes, surely a double like yours of 4H could be re-defined as penalty. As things stand, you must protect yourself but checking descriptions before you act.

Do you get previews when GIB is your partner in Free Automated Fun tournaments?

Yes, it said it was a takeout double, but I don't think that is logical.

It should be a penalty double,but a pity that these similar problems have been there for a long time,need to be solved.This is a big project.
