DEAL 10

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 a 19 point balanced hand, including a stop in s. He plans to double, then bid NT. (see Deal 9)

NORTH has 10 points though, so he jumps to 2♠.

In theory SOUTH could now bid 2NT to continue the description of his hand, but he might as well go ahead and bid 3NT instead.
