Strong Diamond & Canape - Testing


C3: Copious Canape Club requires a lot of memory and constant practice, so we have decided to try our version of Magic Diamond.

10 sessions in Florida Sectionals (Naples, 2013 & Pompano Beach, 2014) gave the following results: 57% average in pairs with two Second Overall in Pairs. 15 MPs

System Descirption:

1C = 13-16 hcp, various hands
1D = 16+ hcp, Strong Diamond with simpler responses
1M = 8-13 hcp, light openers with 26 Zar Points
1NT = 11-14 / 14-16 (4th seat)
2C = 6C or 5C + 4D; 8-13 hcp
2D = 6D or 5D + 4C; 8-13 hcp
2H = 5,6H + 4,5D; 8-13 hcp
2S = 5,6S + 4,5D; 8-13 hcp
