Fran & Graham Foster

Event Topic Introduction

This topic covers how, what and when to bid after the opponents have opened 1NT. It includes doubling, overcalling and the convention of Landy. An opening one no-trump comes up very frequently, so this is a “must” for all bridge players! There is also some revision of the use of Stayman after the opening one no trump, and what to do as the opening side after interference. Hopefully it will eliminate your partner sitting pondering whether that double is for penalties or take out. There will be plenty of practice hands to help reinforce the teaching, making it both extremely informative and useful. As always, this will be a fun learning experience and a chance to meet old friends and make new ones.

Event Itinerary

A standard seminar event is full board, with two seminars and set hands, 3 duplicate sessions as well as a bidding quiz to reinforce your learning. All sessions are optional and partners will be found. Other event types may differ in format.
