Lauria-Versace respond 3♣ to an opening bid of 1♠ with an invitational hand with 6♥. Does anybody know how it continues after this?

Do they really play that? I could see it having merit if you put more hands into the bid than simply invitational with 6 hearts.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

I just read their published card. 2H/1S is only forcing to 3H, so it is unlikely they need two ways to show the same thing. Or, maybe they have changed it.

I play something similar, where 1♠-P-3♦ shows an invitational hand with hearts. 1♠-P-3♥ is the functional equivalent of the Bergen 3♦, just bumped up a space to add preemption. I'd imagine bumping 3♣ up to 3♦ might also have some value, making 3♣ the preemptive call.

There's nothing really special about this. It's just a restructuring to add more preemption. I bet they have the same idea in mind.

And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

Here's the link to their convention card for the Bermuda Bowl this year. It also says that 1♠-1NT is NF and 1♠-2♥ is GF, so they need it...

How about these rebids by opener?
3M/3NT/4M are all to play there
3♦ = GF relay
4m = GF 55
