System
If you come along to Stepping Stones you are welcome to play any methods with which you are comfortable (and one of our hosts will certainly accommodate anything you can explain) but if you play with a 'regular' this is basic system you can expect.
This is distilled from the two EBU books Learning Bridge and the second-year follow-up, Continuing Bridge.
The card is appropriate for our students graduating in 2014.
Weak no-trump, four-card majors, weak-twos in diamonds, hearts and spades
- Stayman and red-suit transfers over 1NT
- Splinter raises (shortage plus fit) of 1-level openings
- Pudding raise (3NT) of 1-major openings
- †1NT – 2♠ to play 3-minor
- 2NT as an enquiry over partner's weak-two
- Landy 2♣ for majors over an opponent's one no-trump
- †Two suited overcalls of opponents' 1-level openings (cue-bid and unusual no-trump)
† not covered in course and otherwise undefined.
