- | 1D is the booby prize bid. If you have 11-15 HCP and none of the other intermediate strength bids fit your hand pattern, then 1D will always fit and provide you with your bid. This does mean that you will occationally have 5C and 4D and will open 1D with a rebid of 2C. Technically this should be alerted when it happens because everyone expects you to bid your longer suit first. | + | |

- | If opener opens with a 1D bid and Responder has a 4 card major, Responder should bid the 4 card major before bidding a minor suit. If Responder has both majors, Responder bids 1H, allowing the opener to bid 1S if opener has 4S. Following this procedure allows the partnership to discover a 4-4 fit at the 1 level. If Responder has a 5+ card major, Responder bids that suit first. If the Responder’s suit is S then Responder can rebid H at the 2 level. If the Responder’s suit is H, then opener will either raise, bid S, or bid something else. Responder can rebid H to show it is 5+ cards. | + | |
