There are those that have been playing for years and never learned this material. Some have learned 2 over 1, but not the follow up bids. And for those who feel comfortable using 2 over 1, the alternative game forcing bids you may not know are just as essential.
The Just Beyond Beginner Bridge series has been extremely popular. I created seven series, each 8 weeks long. You can enter at the start of any series. 2 Over 1 Game Force! is an updated version of JBBB 1, as I am adding more game forcing conventions to this course, (including one not previously included.) We will defer to a different course to take a deep dive into slam bidding.
You will become very comfortable with the 2 over 1 bidding system, which is mandatory learning for all players. It is not an entirely new system from Standard American. It is a modification that helps your partnership reach game contracts. This goes hand in hand with Forcing No Trump. I will then introduce you to three alternative game forcing conventions. 2 over 1 is great, but sometimes, the use of other systems conveys more information.
The course includes eight lessons including two practice sessions. I want you to be comfortable using the bidding conventions, so I have added 4 hours of practice to solidify the use of your new bidding conventions.
Often a class builds on previous ones. Don’t worry if you miss a session, I will provide a good quality recording, the hands and class notes (given in advance of class) so you will never fall behind.
What's included?
* Eight 2-hour interactive live classes, given in person and simultaneouslylive streamed, including two 2-hour practice sessions enabling you to become more accustomed to using the bidding you learned.
* Access to recordings of all the classes.
* Class notes for every session.
* Copies of the hands we play with explanations.
* You will be able to replay the hands in between classes. Repetition is very valuable and one of the keys to success.
The online classes utilize Zoom. You will be able to bid and play the hands online, and have ample opportunity to ask questions.
Schedule: Tuesdays 1:00 – 3:00 PM March 31, April 7, 14, 21, 28, May 5, 12 & 19.
The cost for in person participation is $535 ($565 by credit card) and $480 paid by credit card for "streamers."
Use this course to solidify your game and with practice you will be a much better player than when you started. You will never again say, "We don't play 2 over 1."

After this course, plan to take the next newly organized course on slam bidding. These two series are a perfect combination that will give you the entire picture of game-forcing bids, leadint to slam auctions.
