DEAL 12

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.

NORTH has a balanced hand with 11 points, so she responds 2NT to SOUTH's 2♣ opening bid.

SOUTH bids 3NT. This shows 22-24 points, a hand he was planning to rebid 2NT.

NORTH knows the side has at least 33 points, but no more than 35 so she bids 6NT.
