Roman Blackwood
- An adaptation of the Blackwood convention using the responses after a
4 Notrump slam try:
Response |
Meaning |
5C |
0-3 Aces |
5D |
1 or 4 Aces |
5H |
2 Aces without extra
values |
5S |
2 Aces with extra values |
Note: The Blue Team Club
system exchange the 5C and 5D meanings. Further, the
original Roman Blackwood used 5H and 5S to show "matching" (same
rank, color, shape) or "unmatched" Aces.
