Real easy.

1. Call your primary. If you call your primary, you will know when your partner had a better look at at call than you did. Or you will understand that is their area, and you better be sure before you call anything.

2. Make eye contact. If you are calling something that is out of your primary or in a grey area, know that your partner might be making a call too. Then when you make eye contact, revert back to who's primary the call was made out of.

3. Pregame, pregame, pregame. You better talk about these issues. When you talk about these issues, you know what to do when they happen.

These might not solve the problem, but it will make you more prepared.

Peace
While I appreciate your response, this is specifically not what I addressed. The things you mentioned are "how we go about trying to avoid the call/problem". I agree wholeheartedly that we should do #1,2 and 3 you mentioned, but how do you fix the problem if it does happen because someone screws up?

To those who answered the question, thanks for the responses. This has not been a big problem for me in the past, but after watching some others butcher it, I wanted to have something ready in my bag of tricks if it did happen to me.
