| + | ===Principle of Canapé=== | ||
| + | |||
| + | With 2 - suited hands, the shorter of 2 suits is bid first. If the suits | ||
| + | are of equal length, the lower ranking is bid first (hands with secondary | ||
| + | \Cs are an exception to this rule). There are two " | ||
| + | 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. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Roman loser count=== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Roman loser count (see [[Courtney|Courtney Losers]]) is used | ||
| + | for the purpose of evaluating an opening hand. This is the Courtney loser | ||
| + | count as modified by Giorgio Belladonna and Walter Avarelli. | ||
| + | |||
| + | - No one suit can have more than 3 losers | ||
| + | - Each missing Ace, King or Queen is a loser | ||
| + | - A King with no honor higher than 10 is a < | ||
| + | - A Queen with no honor higher than 10 is a < | ||
| + | | ||
| + | ===Cue bidding=== | ||
| + | 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).</ | ||
| + | controls (not singletons or voids) in partner' | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Other points=== | ||
| + | With a 2 suited hand of 4\Ds | ||
| + | and a major, the \D | ||
| + | suit should be suppressed with a weak (\D) | ||
| + | suit and a weak hand. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The loser count for the opening 2\H | ||
| + | or 2\S should be 5 | ||
| + | or 6. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==Strength== | ||
| + | |||
| + | An opening 1\D, 1\H or 1\S in 1st or 2nd chair shall consist of: </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | * 11 HCP or more; 2 or more quick tricks; 7 or fewer losers | ||
