Introduction to "Two Over One"
This class we will use the book 2 Over 1 Game Force by Audrey Grant and Eric Rodwell. In this introductory class, you will discover the fundamentals and advantages of using 2/1 in your bidding with your partner – or improve your understanding of S/A. 
What is “Two Over One”? This is a system of modern bidding that allows responder to establish a game force at the first bid. This gives the partners bidding room to explore distributional advantages that may lead to a slam. This system is easy to learn and use as it requires the use of only one new convention – Forcing No Trump – that is not part of “Standard American”.
Instructor: Don Brueggeman
