This beginner/intermediate class is for students who are comfortable opening the bidding or responding to the opening bid of their partner.  We will learn how to jump in when the auction gets competitive, and our opponents are bidding.  Requirements for Overcalls, Preemptive Bidding, and Takeout Doubles will be studied. Basic bridge conventions will be introduced including Stayman, Jacoby Transfers, and Blackwood. It is not necessary to have taken “Bid and Play for FUN” to register for this class. Recommended textbooks: Audrey Grant’s “Bridge Basics 2-Competitive Bidding” and “Bridge Basics 3-Popular Conventions” will be used. Students are responsible for the purchase of the texts.
