Orient Bidding System

[drdlittle]

Can anyone provide me with a detailed description of the Orient Bidding System? I would like to read more about it but can only find general information on "The Bridgeguys" site. Thanks for any assistance.

Good luck

 

The Original geocities site is no longer on the web.

 

This is not a good system as every 1-level bid is artificial and shows only hcp, distribution is King!

Yes every1-level bid is artificial. "it shows only HCP" is wrong" Total working point shown in opening bid

is Point+Distribution so say if opener bid 1!S...say Working point + distribution total is 18-19 points.

it does not say that suite is Spade... Suite is revealed later.

Personally,I would avoid playing this system altogether Stick to what's been tried

and trusted.

I think that we have all, in our teens and early twenties, mentally invented and maybe even tried this system. I think that it would be a lot of fun, so long as you didn't care about results.

 

This would probably be the standard system if that guy who is proposing all kinds of changes got his way with respect to eliminating the ranks of suits, as there would be lots of room to start relays.
