As there COLOMBO are so many low forcing bids and DELI consructive bids in the one 'over' one system, the average beginner may find it difficult at first pro perly to sign-off his partner, and prevent the bidding from tinuing when it looks as though the combined hands will not pro- duco a game or a alam.

Examples of the most common of the sign-off bids are as follows: Original bidder bide one spade. partner ono no trump This bid of one no trump shows a very weak hand and is not classed as'n con- structive bid-It is definitely a sign-off bid.

If the original bidder were now to bid two hearts, showing a second Alexandria suit, partier would have a right to pass. If partner, however, rea- ponded with two spades, he would be almply showing a preference of the original bidder's two auits and commanding partner to sign off as he had now given a double sign- tamburg

off.

་

With strength and a preference for spades, partner's constructive response would have been three spades,

Another example:- Original bidder opens with one spade, part- ker bids two clubs-n constructive bid but not forcing. Original bid- der now bids two no trump-this is also a constructive bid,

Here is an example of a sign-oft bid at the higher stages when an. attempt is being made to reach a Plam. Original bidder opens with one heart, partner jumps to four hearts-this is a mild slam try...

Let us say that the original bid-; der's hand does not bave quite enough strength to go to six hearts, but does have some re-hid. strength, and he now bids five diamonds.

If partner responds with live hearta,, this would be a definite algn-off bid, advising against the slam, and the original bidder should not go to six hearts because in making his bid of five diamonds he has asked partner if he held additional strength, clearly stating that his own hand is not strong enough to jump to six hearts im- mediately, When partner gives the sign-off response of five hearts. he makes the decision.against the slam.

There are many different types of sign-off bids that come up dur ing a game, and a little playing Experience will soon make you thoroughly familiar with all of them..

This is the final article on the one over one system of contract bidding. In my following articles I will again give you some of the hands from the most important tournaments throughout the coun- try and examples of the one over one bidding system will be given In these hands.
