The fun in bridge is you can invent new conventions and it worked this time.

 

To find out if a convention is working you have to keep track of the results and if you gain more than you loose keep it.

 

Holding combined 36 HCP is very rare and giving up 4 level for this looks like a wasted convention.

 

A top pair had a rule for a new convention : If it only happened once in the first year we scrap it.

 

If you want to play a simple system I find your convention better than just Gerber.

So if I understood rightly the Spiral (unless we skip steps to indicate otherwise) always starts from Spades downwards and continues through Queens to Jacks. Makes sense, thanks.

SIR,thats quite right and you have got it absolutely right.And Sir,kindly see the article available on google search titled "ROSENKRANZ THE SPIRAL SCAN" for more details.

It has always seemed to me that transfers make the leap to 4 as a sign off redundant

This seq. also includes hands, that plan to Keycard with this suit as trumps,

freeing the seq. xfer, followed by 4NT to show a quant. invite with a 5 card

major suit.

How often do you have a hand that just needs to know the KC?

How often do you have a hand that just needs to know the KC?

 

It does happen. But Texas followed by 4NT takes care of that, at least for the majors.

And some Kickback gadget will do for the minors.
