==Purpose==
+
On all pages, choose the '''first''' listed option that applies. If a section does not apply (<i>e.g.</i>, "minimal hands") then skip all the options in that section.
−
These pages have three purposes:
+
−
* To provide instructions for beginning players regarding how to use and respond to common conventions
+
−
* To serve as a starting point for partnership agreements between me and other players
+
−
* To document reasoning that will help both intermediate-level players like me and beginners to better understand bidding theory in general
+
−
To further these ends I have tried to flesh out details of conventions as much as possible and cover as many cases as possible in as logical a way as possible.
+
  
−
These pages aren't likely to be very useful to more experienced players since they were all written by me.
