Guide to the Convention Card
Morris Jones
Feb. 11, 2018
At the Feb. 5 BridgeMojo postmortem I gave an overview of the standard Convention Card. The object was to show the various regions of the card and how it was laid out:
- The right half covers constructive bidding (our side opens)
- The left half upper two-thirds cover competitive bidding (their side opens)
- The left half lower portion covers defensive signals and carding
Each of the major areas are divided with titles that explain themselves fairly well, for example:
- Notrump openings and responses
- Major suit openings and responses
- Minor suit openings and responses
- Two-level openings and responses
The competitive bidding section on the left isn't quite as organized as the constructive section, but then competitive bidding is messy too. :)
