 ===They overcall the forcing 1N response===
-If opener is able to make his normal response (i.e. the overcall has not taken away bidding space), then all is normal and relays can continue. Otherwise relays are off. They are also off if overcaller's partner interferes further.

+Relays are **off**, regardless of whether or not opener's second bid was bumped up (as per agreement on 8/31/2022).
+Examples:

+|2\d  |P  |?  | |
+  * 2H: preference, NF
+  * 2S: natural, GF
+  * 2N: natural, C stopper, GI
+  * 3C: F, asking for stopper (probably D support)

-  *If partner opens 1\H or 1\s, then a bid at the lowest level of the "other" major is a constructive raise to the two level in partner's suit.  If instead a raise of our suit directly is a pretty awful hand.

   * Jump shifts are fit showing; they are a natural bid with enough trump support to ensure 8+ trumps.  :-o this used to be described as preemptive
   *  New suits = natural force (including 2\H / 1\S)
   *  1N = natural non-force with at most 3 card support for opened suit (8-11 HCP)
