I have developed a xlsm file to do this (supporting MS Office 2010+, not sure for 2007). It should be especially useful for new system developer like me. XLSM The table part helps to compose the situation and description details. The program also supports SYMMETRIC generation. $S{[symmetric to seq]|[first subseq to continue]|[@-delimited replace find]|[@-delimited replace by]} $A{[answer1]|[answer2]|...} $R{[answer1 after #1 relay]|[answer2 after #1 relay]|...} Currently nested use of these at the same line is not well supported yet. At this file provided, 2 of my systems are written. You can feel the magic to write 300 lines for thousands of lines :rolleyes

The best way to create a convention card should be to generate by program. (bidedit is not efficient...it only helps to generate code samples for me to program a generator) I am doing this but the current method to upload it is quite inefficient... As I know, web does not support uploading of .bss file. Why is it the case? When I am testing my system with friends in Web (so that dealer code can be used), after re-generating the file for an update, I have to log off and switch to Win (so that .bss file can be uploaded) and switch back afterwards. Another problem is I hear that newly registered members cannot download Win version. So they will fail to upload any convention cards? XLSM file I use to generate CC in Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7ucF3yfD5Z7ci1CS2kycDZ0cVE/view?usp=sharing

The first few steps of your version one is similar to my CHAOS 1♣ response: 19% 1♦ = 5+P 4+♥s/v or 5+♥ 14% 1♥ = 5+P 5+♠ 50% 1♠ = 0-7P catch all or 8+ Bal 9% 1N = 8+P 3+♠s/v or 4♠ 2% 2♣ = 10+P 55+ms or 6+♣/♦(s/v) 2% 2♦ = 0-5P 5+♥ or 12+ 5+♥v 2% 2♥ = 0-5P 5+♠ or 12+ 5+♠v <1% 2♠ = 0-9P 55+ms <1% 2N-3♠ = 7+card in transferred suit, 0 ctrl or solid suit all next actions are likely step one except 1♠. after 1♣-1♠-1N (15-18 "Bal"): 2♣ = invitational or ♦SO or 9-11 Bal&game-selecting 2♦ = 12+P 6+♣ Bal or 4♠ Bal 2♥ or 2N+(symmetric) = 12+P catch all(no 4+♠/5+♥/6+♣, 2222+) 2♠ = one minor suit invitational Originally I think the 1♠ is just too probable...but it turns out to be assigning room to the part that requires it. Major suit holders should bid slower than minor suit holders in general (real bidding space need to consider opponents' action). It also promises the NT to be seated right.

:rolleyes: I usually have time in night time or Sunday afternoons. You can choose a best time for you and give me a msg in FB.

Yes, with 1-3-(54) 1NT is opened (in fact more extremely, this 1NT includes 2-2-7-2 as well, this is coming from the issue of relay bidding space, in case that you want to preempt with long ♦, you still can bid 2♦, but that brings you away from slams...). 1-red is unlimited with 1♣ still possibly holding 5+M. This splits hands with high power but good/bad as declaring side. Some strong hands AKQxxx xxx AKQ x just should not take the declarer, void hands can also be described clearly under 1-red open (as asking side, it is hard to bid own void suit without wasting bidding space). Declarer side controlling is one of the main consideration when I design this system. That's why the showing side is always using transfers/bidding shorts... As the priority tells, 2m denies any 4+M. This 1♠ is quite annoying to opponents according to my experience, and in fact the nature is similar to weak 1NT but safer (with 1♠-1N-2m signoffs). But it release a lot of load from the weak 1NT so that complete relays can still be done after these weak "bal" openings.

I like this system much more than precision or MOSCITO...mainly for the beauty (and of course the power as well) I want to play this with more people but I never get enough chance. A BBO cc is also constructed and placed as my favourite cc on BBO. If you are interested in it, please try it with your partner and give me feedback. You may also try it with me if you see me on BBO (give me a chat msg to indicate this first). Chung's Hypersymmetric Ask Or Show (CHAOS) CHAOS is invented in 2012, based on the ideas of null-opening 1♣ and step counting relay. It is a very memory-efficient and chance-efficient relay system. It requires very few "true memory" owing to its symmetric and deductive relay structure. It maximizes the chance that an exact shape relay can be completed by "supplying" points to the (re-)opener during relay. 1♣=15+ waiting null-opening (responses similar to openings below with point range shifted, 1♠ and 1NT swapped) Openings below listed from high to low priority: 1♦=11+ 5+♥s(or 4♥s,0-4♠s with singleton/void) 1♥=11+ 5+♠s 1♠= 9-14 4♠s(or 3♠s with singleton/void) 2♣=11-14 6+♣s or 5+♣s;5+♦s 2♦=11-14 6+♦s with singleton/void or ♦ preempt 1NT=11-14 bal (catch all) Step 1 responses of the openings are relay initiators, but as exceptions, step 2 responses are used for 1♠ and 1NT. The reason is non-forcing 1NT to 1♠ and puppet 2♣ to 1NT provide good partial contract stops. Download System Detail (.xlsx) (Refer to the [Tree] sheet)
