Recommended bidding sequence:

West North East South
--- 1© pass 1NT
pass 2¨ pass 2ª
pass pass pass.

1NT = One of many types of hands, 5-11 hcp, 1RF.
2¨ = 3+ ¨-suit. North is at least an ace short of the reverse rebid of 2ª.
2ª = Preference. With 1 spade less, South should sign off in 3§, showing 6+ clubs, and 5-9 hcp.

Discussion to follow.

Recommended bidding sequence:

West North East South
--- --- pass 1§
2© dbl 3© pass
pass pass.

2© = Weak jump overcall, i.e., 6+ suit, and 5-10 hcp. Vulnerable, and holding only 6-card suit, West should have at least KQ or AJT on top of it.
dbl = Negative, showing 4-card ª-suit and 6+ hcp, or, just 12+ hcp.
3© = Preemptive raise. If East wants to invite to game, he should cuebid 3§, and bid hearts next, or redouble, to show a good hand, but only 3-card support.

Discussion to follow.

Mean NS Score =

Recommended bidding sequence:

West North East South
--- --- --- pass
1© pass 1NT pass
2§ pass 3© pass
pass pass pass.

1NT = One of many types of hands, 5-11 hcp, 1RF. The reason for this action is, that East should not directly invite to game in hearts on just 3-card support.
2§ = Perhaps a doubleton, for West can't bid reverse with a 4522-hand and less than 16 hcp. East should alert for this possible exception.
3© = Delayed invite to game with only 3-card ©-support, and of course, 10-11 hcp, or distribution to make up for the hcp he is short to this range.

Discussion to follow.
