4D was alerted (SPL) and South realised his error in passing almost immediately. The TD was called and ruled that it could be changed (25A1). I was North and did not think that was right and my partner's pass should have stood. What do readers think?

You chose the right forum.
I think the TD should be required to requalify if he does not admit his error (25A2).
Although in many BBO tournaments this is considered normal.

You should have asked the Director to read from TFLB.
club or online?

I suggest South time-travel to the 1990s, when 27B2b2 applied. Of course, when I gave those rulings, even the *offenders* didn't believe they had that option - which is at least one of the reasons why they no longer do.
I suggest an experienced E-W, should N-S be a new pair and not in a tournament, "request a waiver" (81C5). But of course, they need not do so, and the direcytor; it's up to them whether the bar penalty is worth the top (or even guess that there would *be* no bar penalty).
Not sure what I suggest for the director - but I gave more than one 82C ruling in Penticton (granted, on less obvious situations than this, but at least one of them was a "of course I should have known that"), so I'm not really one to talk.

27B talks about insufficient bid?
Yes, if South is a nervous newbie, we can let him make a bid.
Were the 82C's self imposed?
