DEAL 22

These Practice pages can be utilized in several ways.

The recommended method is for two partners to be in vocal contact, each looking at the page in a different computer - perhaps one with a laptop. Using this method one partner would start by clicking on NORTH, the other on SOUTH.

Somewhat less satisfactorily, the partners can use a single computer, and alternate looking at the display, again one as NORTH, the other as SOUTH.

As a last resort, one person can click back and forth between screens.

Start by clicking one of the buttons; when the bidding is complete click the BIDDING button to check the "recommended" bidding.

SOUTH has 14 points so he opens one of his 5-card Major suit, 1♠.

NORTH has some good ♣s, but with four of partner's Major she doesn't bother bidding anything else. Since she has 11 points she jumps to 3♠, a Limit Raise.

SOUTH is very close to passing. He now gets to add a point for his doubleton ♣ which takes him up to 15 points. So he has enough to bid 4♠.
