I have a question in reference to the system notes for GIB BOT https://www.bridgeba...ystem_notes.php
In the notes, there is a paragraph about "Two way game tries" which includes the following bullet:
"Any other bid below 3 of the major is a long suit game try, at least a 3-card suit with some honors..."
I don't understand how responder can evaluate his hand in light of such an ambiguous definition of a LSGT.

It probably should be described as help suit, rather than long suit. Though GIB is pretty bad at both making and accepting them at the right times.
