EXAMPLE 1 The values shown by Overcaller vary based on the values shown by Advancer and whether he is making a free bid or a competitive bid. North East South West 1♣ DBL 1♠ 2♥ 2♠ ?
Who is the Advancer? West Does Advancer have to bid? No What did Advancer’s bid or lack thereof say? At least 4 hearts and 6-9 HCP East’s Hand: ♠J94 ♥AQJ3 ♦AJ83 ♣65
What happens if East passes?
North/South will play 2♠ (unless West holds 5+ hearts).
West will be unsure if East three hearts or four hearts What should East bid?
With four hearts, East should raise hearts. This is
a competitive bid and does not show extra values.

EXAMPLE 2
North East South West 1♣ DBL Pass 1♥ 2♣ ?
Who is the Advancer? West Does Advancer have to bid? Yes
What did Advancer’s bid or lack thereof say? West holds 0-9 HCP and (probably) four hearts East’s Hand: ♠J94 ♥AQJ3 ♦AJ83 ♣65
What happens if East passes?
North/South will play 2♣ (unless West holds 5+
hearts). West will be unsure if East three hearts or four hearts What should East bid?
With four hearts, East should raise hearts.
This is a competitive bid and does not show extra
values.
NOTE: The difference in all three examples (pages 16-18) is how the Responder or Opponents bid in response to East’s double of the opening 1♣ bid

EXAMPLE 3 North East South West 1♣ DBL Pass 1♥
Pass ? Who is the Advancer? West Does Advancer have to bid? Yes
What did Advancer’s bid or lack thereof say? West holds 0-9 HCP and (probably) four hearts East’s Hand: ♠A94 ♥AQJ3 ♦AK83 ♣65
What does it say if East raises?
If East passes, East/West has the contract at 1♥.
If East raises it is a ‘free’ bid showing extra values
and interest in game, if West has 7-9 HCP. What should East bid?
2♥
Alternatively, if East held: ♠J94 ♥AQJ3 ♦AJ83 ♣65 What should East bid? Pass

NEGATIVE DOUBLE
TWO MAJOR SUITS
If two major suits have been bid, double promises both minor suits with at least four cards in each. North East South West
1♥ 1♠ ?
South holds:
♠765 ♥73 ♦A743 ♣Q542
What position is South? Responder If South bids “double” what does it show?
▪ 4+ diamonds
▪ 4+ clubs
▪ 6+ HCP

ONE MAJOR SUIT
If only one major has been bid, double promises at least four cards in the unbid major. North East South West
1♥ 2♣ ?
South holds:
♠Q765 ♥73 ♦A43 ♣8542
What position is South? Responder If South bids “double” what does it show?
▪ 4+ spades
▪ Less than three hearts
▪ 6+ HCP South holds:
♠Q7654 ♥73 ♦A43 ♣852
If South bids “double” what does it show?
▪ 4+ spades
▪ Less than three hearts
▪ 6+ HCP
Why is this hand also a double?
Bidding a new suit at the 2-level would promise
10+ HCP and South only has 6 HCP. Given South’s
lower HCP, double is the only bid that allows South
to tell Partner he has a spade suit.

ONE MAJOR SUIT EXAMPLES
North East South West
1♥ 2♣ ?
South holds: ♠Q764 ♥73 ♦AKJ3 ♣852
South bids: Dbl
Why? Bidding a new suit at the two level would
promise 10+ HCP and a 5+ card major (South only
has four spades), double is the only bid that allows
South to tell partner he has a spade suit.
North East South West
1♣ 1♠ ? South holds: ♠764 ♥ AKJ53 ♦73 ♣852
South bids: DBL
Why? Bidding a new suit at the two level would have

only 8 HCP), double is the only bid that allows South
to tell partner he has a heart suit. South holds: ♠Q764 ♥ AKJ3 ♦73 ♣852
