i'm sure ive seen system of transfers over takeout double of 1N here. Ive tried searching but u cant search on 1D(too small) so didn't have any luck

transfers over 1 double make a lot of sense and is easy to come up with a system that is nice

1 double a little more difficult. I think your gonna lose natural redouble. Anyone got a method?

if it makes a difference 1 is unbalanced

We play transfers through 1N. Our 1S is bal, minors or weak diamonds. We play system on starting with 2C. There are probably lots of threads on 1D X.

We lose the natural redouble and use it as a transfer to hearts. Hasn't been a problem yet.

I never developed a fully fleshed out system over 1-X, but having worked hard on the 1M-X version, the "lost" XX hands pass and then double. If 3 hands have near opening values (in the case of a normal XX responder), you can bet 4th hand isn't sitting for the X and is taking it out to some cheap suit since they're nearly broke. So you've essentially got a situation where the opps are in a forcing auction, so you can safely pass and plan on bidding again later. This opens up a lot of options, systems-wise, for how to treat strongish hands by repsonder.

We play an entire level of transfers, starting with the RDbl. The loss of the natural RDbl isn't that big imo, and there are other ways to penalize opps.

So:
RDbl = 4+
1 = 4+
1 = transfer to NT
1NT = transfer , pretty much any strength
2 = good raise
2 = weak raise

So: ...

While over 1 (X) I play transfers with a 4+ card suit (twalsh "on"), after 1 (X) transfer (pass), how do you play? Jump completion with 4, completion with 2+, or what?

Completion of a Major with a 3 card, jump completion with 4.

In general I think you should follow the same style that you play over 1-(X)-transfer.

Merci beaucoup. That's the great thing about the BBO forums, they give you new outlooks and ideas. Should be compulsory reading for all bridge players!

After 1-(P)-? => We play T-Walsh.

Playing T-Walsh it is easy to play a similar system after:
1x-(1D/H)-?
(with DBL is transfer to 1 over 1).

or after:
1C/D/H-(DBL)-
(with RDBL is transfer to 1 over 1).

=> I would recommend these transfers when playing T-walsh.

Its my understanding that under ACBL GCC conventional meanings may be given to redoubles and responses
(including free bids)

so you can use 1= and 1= etc. as these are free bids

I obviously did mean DBL iso RDBL
(and all other 1-level bids are transfer, with 1 transfer to 1NT)

Assuming you are referring to "Competitive" section, item 2, you missed a word.

1 (1) 1= is not GCC-legal (unless 1 was strong and forcing, not the case under discussion here, or 1 was conventional, unlikely).

Yeah, double is a cheat, because *everybody* plays double as conventional, so you get to make "any [non-purely-destructive] agreements" over it.

Woe betide you if you find the one pair in the country that plays penalty doubles. Having said that, I might try that one day just for the director calls :-)

You can also try my Systems Index for this sort of thing. I just added this thread.
