Ron Vickery published a book about 1985 combining 2/1 and precision. same press as Max Hardy's 2/1. have not used the system since the late 80's , but always liked the system. wlling to try a precision system with others, rate myself as beginner, but not sure what level i actualy would be to others

thank you, I now know what the term means. that is exactly what I did, ask for an explanation. that's why I wondered if I was expecting something wrong from the alert system. thanks again

thank you I understand that English is not primary for all. if opp had not alerted I would have taken it as preempt. 1)seems to me that the director could have replied that "barrage" means preempt instead of telling me that" I should read more on bridge" 2)especially since your comment on goulash indicates that it is not normal bids, reading more on bridge would not have helped nor solved the problem of the meaning of the term "barrage" 3) I was not concerned with proprieties, I just wanted to know what the term "barrage" meant

just finished an online tournament. first bid was 3h(alert),description "barrage". after bidding and before I made the opening lead I asked the meaning of the alert. the opp was slow in responding, so I called the director. just as director came on, opp replied " we go o".I asked what "o" meant. dir privately responded that "I should read more on bridge" do I misunderstand alerts? I expected a clear description of the alert
