When S opened 1NT (15-17)and super-accepted with 3H over the transfer, GIB Blackwooded into slam. But when the opening bid was was 1C and the 1H response was raised to 4H - showing a balanced 18-19 - it passed. It also Blackwooded over a 3H invitational raise. It moved to slam on the weaker auctions, staying in game only on the strongest one.

I cannot read the full explanation of the 4 bid, as it is cut off. I am curious as to why the jump from 1 to 4 is referred to as a "double jump-raise."

The full explanation of 4, which none of us can see because of the bizarre system issue that cuts off South explanations internally, is almost certainly "Double jump raise -- 3+; 4+; 21- HCP; 22- total points", where the point counts are based on the limitations of South's opening bid.

 

Presumably, over partner's 1:

  • 2 is a raise
  • 3 is a jump raise
  • 4 is a double jump raise
