| - | | + | ===Principle of Canapé=== |
| - | < | + | |
| - | </ | + | With 2 - suited hands, the shorter of 2 suits is bid first. If the suits |
| - | <tr> | + | are of equal length, the lower ranking is bid first (hands with secondary |
| - | < | + | \Cs are an exception to this rule). There are two "types" |
| - | < | + | and descending. When the lower ranking suit is bid first, then the sequence |
| - | | + | is called an ascending canapé when the higher is bid first it is |
| - | < | + | descending. In an ascending canapé sequence, the second suit is at |
| - | </ | + | least 5 cards long and is //at least// as long as the first. In a descending |
| - | < | + | canapé, the second suit is //always// longer than the first. |
| - | <td valign=top>< | + | |
| - | < | + | ===Roman loser count=== |
| - | | + | |
| - | < | + | Roman loser count (see [[Courtney|Courtney Losers]]) is used |
| - | </tr> | + | for the purpose of evaluating an opening hand. This is the Courtney loser |
| - | < | + | count as modified by Giorgio Belladonna and Walter Avarelli. |
| - | <td valign=top>< | + | |
| - | < | + | - No one suit can have more than 3 losers |
| - | | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | < | + | - A Queen with no honor higher than 10 is a <html>½</html> loser |
| - | </ | + | |
| - | < | + | ===Cue bidding=== |
| - | <td valign=top>< | + | Throughout the description |
| - | < | + | of this system, when describing cue bidding or the showing of controls, a |
| - | < | + | control will mean a K or A or singleton or void indiscriminately. |
| - | </ | + | level, cue bids will show Aces (in new suits).</del> Cue bids will show high card |
| - | < | + | controls (not singletons or voids) in partner' |

| - | | + | With a 2 suited hand of 4\Ds |
| - | < | + | and a major, the \D |
| - | </ | + | suit should be suppressed with a weak (\D) |
