MULTI
2 (... weak 2M; or ... )
An
artificial opening bid with several meanings. The ONLY weak type
must be a weak-two in a major suit.
Specify
with one descriptive word in the NAME LINE before the word "weak"
... your STYLE for the weak 2M type: standard (i.e. fair six-card suit),
or undisciplined (i.e. bad six-card suit or often fair five- card suit
acceptable) or random (anything is acceptable). You may use a more descriptive
adjective. After this, replace the word "or" with the strong
hand types, using semi-colons.
Here
is a proper entry on the card: e.g. MULTI 2 (random weak 2M; 17-24 3-suiter; 25+ BAL)
Inside
the card, you must include a full description of range and style for
the weak type. Responder to 2 assumes
a weak-two and bids as follows: Pass: Long diamonds; 2 :
P/C; 2 :
P/C, willing to play at least 3 opposite
a weak 2; 2NT: Forcing, showing genuine values, asking for clarification
(specify rebids); All other heart bids are P/C (include something descriptive
about STYLE here).
You
must have agreements about responses of 3m and 4m. You must have agreements
about opener's immediate continuations with the strong hand type(s)
over simple and jump responses. You must have agreements in competition
(including Pass and RDBL).
Note:
If you meet ALL of those conditions you may write nothing more than:
MULTI 2 (loose weak 2M; etc ...) in this section.
Note:
If you have some special agreements, such as: "might pass a 2 response randomly with a weak 2"
or "pass over an opponent's DBL of 2 means nothing," such variations are sufficiently important
to merit "QUOTES" around the NAME. Your opponents will want
to know about this sort of thing in advance.
