1NT = In our system: one round force, promising one of
several distrubtions, and 5-11 hcp. Bergen raises are not
made on three card support, and 2§ would force game.

2¨ = Multi-colored,
based on weak-2 in hearts.
2ª = Signoff opposite weak-2 in ª (the sort of hand West expects), but invitational or
better opposite weak-2 in ©.
NS keep bidding on the principle of lesser risk. They can't look through the cards, and
can't afford to miss the vulnerable game. Defending 5©
doubled would be for peanuts anyway.
