Anybody knows this system? I am learning it and have a few question abou it.
1) 1D-1N
2H/S
Does 2H or 2S show maximum, i.e., 15-16HCP?
2) 1D-1S
3C
Their notes says 3c shows 3card spt. Does it mean 1S guarantees 5card?
Thx in advance.

I am by no means an expert on the strong club style that Hamman and Soloway use. With this said and done, Hamman Soloway play 4 card majors and have some canape tendencies.
As a result, a 1S response to a 1D opening tends to suggest 5 cards or an unbalanced hand.

As they play Flannery, in 1H-1S, 1S does promise 5card. However, I dont understand why in 1D-1H/S, 1H/S shold be 5card too. Does it mean they responde 1N with 4card major?

Blue Club is a canape system.
Holding a 4 card major and an equal length or longer minor, opener will typically open in his major.
As a result, a 1D opening tends to deny a 4 card major UNLESS opener has a canape reverse (4+ Diamonds and 5+ cards in the major with maximum values)
Accordingly, responder will often suppress a 4 card major with a balanced hand, prefering to immediately bid 1NT and minimize the information availabel to the defense.

I believe Hamman-Soloway have reduced their use of canape openings, opening 4M5C and 4D5H only in a major, otherwise opening 1D or 2C.
