DONT is not particularly popular in the UK. This may have something to do with the fact we play weak NT...—Preceding unsigned comment added by Cambion (talk • contribs)

You refer to the "most popular method" statement? I think it's pretty POV and speculation; very superficially, I think Cappelletti is more popular even in US, having the virtue of being simple. I'll tone down the statement a bit... Duja 14:31, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

DONT over Weak NT and DONT over Big Club Systems[edit]

I've expanded the convention somewhat referencing weaker No Trump systems. It could still use some cleanup. I hope Duja realizes that I rely on him quite a bit to keep my contributions in order. I also have been sticking to the honour spelling on my pages, because all the other pages seem to have started with that spelling, even though we know the real spelling is honor.Eljamin 17:59, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Heh

. Thanks, I'll take a look. As for hono(u)r and other Am/Br En variations, the policy is just to stick to a single variant on any given article, not WP-globally or theme-globally. Thus, if the article already was written in Br.En. just follow it, otherwise just use whatever you prefer. Duja► 11:36, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm curious: what are bids 1♦-1♠ used for in the scheme over strong 1♣? Plus, some external links and/or references describing the idea would be welcome — Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought. Duja► 13:05, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You could agree to do whatever you want, but I use them as weak 1s - like a weak 2, but one card shorter. If you're really interested you could pick up a copy of Better Bidding with Bergen, which is sold through Amazon.com (Volume II, the competitive auctions). I've done some searching, but I haven't been able to find anything online detailing the system.Eljamin 13:19, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You don't have to put an online link; just name the book, author, and its chapter/pages in "References" section. See e.g. {{cite book}} (and WP:FOOT if you'd like fancy inline references). Duja► 13:56, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Responses.[edit]

The article currently says nothing about responses to the 2-suited bids. Without knowig these, the convention is of little value, and a reader's understanding is incomplete. 98.110.51.182 (talk) 18:18, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Broken links[edit]
