Bids that Require Advance Preparation

"Martian Standard" Opening Bids: 1 is 11+ and a one round force. If balanced, it will contain 11-13, 17-19 or 22+, otherwise it will contain long clubs and an unbalanced hand. 1 / 1 and 1 are also a one round force, 13+ and will be unbalanced. We will shade the requirement if we hold a side major. 1N is 14-16 (1/2) and 15-17 (3/4). 2x = 10-13 and 5+ in suit. 3N is a good 4 of a major opening Responses to be aware of: 1 - ? 1 / 1 = 4+ or . 1 = no major 1N = GF Quasi Relay 2m = invitational 2M = Reverse Flannery 2N = Both minors, less than invite 1 - ? 1 may be 3 cards if a very weak hand 1N GF Relay 1 - ? 1 = similar to a forcing NT 1N = Game forcing relay 2 = 5+'s and 4-9 points 2 = constructive raise 1 - 2 = game forcing relay 2 = 5+'s and 4-9 points 2 = constructive raise Competitive Methods: 1. We use transfers in many competitive auctions 2. Over your natural 1m opening, we play overcall structure: - Double = 15+ and usually balanced - Jump Overcalls are two suited - 1N is similar to a takeout x and may be lighter 3. Over your Precision 1D or Balanced or Polish club, we play: Double = majors, 1N = one minor, 2C = both majors, 2D = one major (less than opening hand), 2M = Opening hand. Pass and double shows strong NT + 4. Over your strong club we play Double = majors, 1D = hearts, 1H = spades, 1S = spades and minor, 1N = one minor, 2m = m + hearts. 5. Over your 1N opening we play Woolsey / Multi-Landy depending on range
