Question 7c.

You chose to bid 5 clubs. This is correct. You realized that with your combined total of 26 points, you should be able to make a GAME bid in Clubs - which means having to bid 5 Clubs in order to get 100 points.

So the bidding sequence is like this.

1 Club
No Bid
2 Clubs
No Bid
5 Clubs
No Bid
No Bid
No Bid

The opposition players we are not allowing into the bidding at this stage of the lessons. And your partner will not have any reason to take the bidding above game level. Therefore, there will be 3 No Bids in a row, and this will signal the end of the bidding, and the play will begin.

This will be discussed in Lesson  2.
