• Incorporating The Major Two Diamonds convention into your partnership agreement, an opening bid of two diamonds promises the following hand type:
• 6/4 holding in the majors
• The six-card suit can be either spades or hearts
• 10 - 15 HCP
• The HCP count excludes possible wasted values in either of the minor suits i.e.
• Singleton king
• Doubleton queen
• All jacks
• When giving HCP count in the subsequent bidding, exclude all possible wasted values
• HCP should be concentrated in both majors

• TOPICS COVERED INCLUDE
• Responding with a bust hand
• Responding with a game invitational hand
• Fast arrival
• Bidding the awkward in-between hand types
