BRIDGE BIDDING SYSTEMS

Ever since the game of bridge has become popular, bridge players from around the world have been trying to define 52 cards. They have devised many conventions, treatments, methods, formulas, techniques and approaches to describe 13 hidden cards to their partner who is also holding 13 hidden cards. With all of these arrangements, bridge players have been hoping to also convey a certain mathematical strength and card length.

As soon as these arrangements have been devised, developed, refined and altered, these bridge players have given them names, called Systems. Out of these different Systems, the bridge player may choose the conventions and treatments he will wish to include in his or her repertoire. Out of these Systems come very many conventions and treatments which the individual bridge player still uses today.

Following is an incomplete list of Bridge Bidding Systems, but it contains those Systems which have survived the challenge of time and popularity. At the moment we wish to make the list available, not to offer explanations. Our reason to decide to include this page to our Website lies in the fact that many great bridge players from the past have taken the time to sit down, think a problem through, and then come up with a solution. They deserve the credit.
