Can someone give me a good brief description of the bidding system Ely CUlbertson devised? I've heard it called the honor count system but I thought it differed from 4321. For example, a friend I was playing with, who is 83 and learned the Ely system, said she remembered something about opening w/ 4 points, which seems to me pretty low if it's standard 4321. Did it mean honor count in trump? Or something else. I've looked around the NEt and can't find much - I can always go to the library and find a pre-Goren book but it would be nice if someone here can answer it for me. Thanks.
