Bids that Require Advance Preparation

3rd seat NV 1N opening shows 10-14
Our run out system over PEN X of 10-14 is:
    XX = Two suited (not D+Major)
    2C = C, H, S, D+H, or D+S
    2D = D, H, or S
      -- If H or S we are willing to play 2D undoubled
    Bidding a suit and redoubling is often asking 1N opener to bid the next suit
1D - 2C NF

General Bidding Style

We play transfer responses to our 1C Opening, which can be as short as 2C.
1D opener is semi balanced or unbalanced, usually has 5D+ (only 4D if some 4441).
We open most 11+ HCP balanced hands NV, most 12+HCP balanced when vulnerable.
Transfer rebids after 1D-1M
14+-17 NT Opener in all seats and position except for 3rd seat NV then it's 10-14.

1C - 1N and 1D - 1N are GF relays.

Aggressive 2/3 level preempts NV

Opening Leads AND Leads in the Middle of the Hand

9's and T's show 0/2 higher

2nd/4th Shifts through declarer including honors.
- Both defenders have to have all of the original cards in the suit
- Does not apply to suits bid by partner

We give UD original count
- Usually while pitching after we have given an attitude signal

Defensive Signals

UD attitude is our primary signal followed by UD count then S/P.
We always try to give the signal that is most useful to partner
Will card randomly if we don't think partner needs to know or has nothing to do.
