Rubbish bidding, well said.

2S is not a one round force? How the heck do you invite with 5 card majors? One must jump to 3 level to force? Great system. One asks for stoppers with a stiff club?

Constructive bidding over a precision 2c are known to be a problem, most play 2M as non forcing weak invite or less. You will see world class players missing games over 2c opening, just like you see fantoni nunes miss games sometimes after thier 2 level opening. The payback is the premption value of the bids.

2 major is non-forcing, but can be made up to about invitational values. 6-11 is the stated range I believe.
