Do you think there is merit in this?

I just added another simple video.

4 semi-random BBO hands, strong club sequences.

 

 

I'm less interested in what's best, rather how to sell symmetric to a wider audience.

As such, our method tends towards simple and consistent.

Thanks.

Very useful, although I struggled to understand your 6♥ derail on #36 and in general the unalerted bids by E needed more explanation.

But one can't make an omelette without breaking eggs :)

6♥ was a miclick by me. No undos in this mode.

It's assumed that the viewers have the relay structure in front of them.

Keylime & I have been using a simple relay system for 10+ years with our C3: (Copious Canape Club) Strong ♣ opening: 16+ hcp or any 4-loser hand.

 

The Relays after a Positive Response are simple to identify the 2nd suit without usually showing the distribution in the other 2 suits. This approach allows setting the Trump Suit as a Beta for Controls (when opener has a fit) under 3NT and to end the bidding if slam seems remote without too much information leakage. CABs are available after Beta responses. If opener has a non-fitting hand for either of responder's suits, he can make a SAB-3 ASK and often learns if responder is 0-1 / 2 / 3+ cards in opener's suit of interest. We have found this simple and easy on the memory. :)
