2C Opening Bid, Alertable

11-15 HCP, 6C or 5C4M
Weak Responses:
	< 10 HCP, no support, no 6+ major: Pass
	<10 HCP, no support, 6+ major: 2M
	<10 Points (HCP+DP), 3+ support: 3C

Minor game requires: 8 card fit – 29 points, 9 card fit – 26 points, 10 card fit – 23 points
Constructive Responses:
	10+ HCP, 4+M, ask for major: 2D Alertable
	10+ HCP, 6+M, invite: 3M
	10-12 HCP, stoppers in other suits: 2NT
	13+ HCP, stoppers in other suits: 3NT
	13-16 Points (HCP+DP), support: 4C
	17+ Points (HCP+DP), support: 5C
	
Rebids by Opener after 2D ask:
	2M : Have 4M and 11-13 HCP, alertable
	3M:  Have 4M and 13-15 HCP, alertable
	2N:   No 4M and 11-13 HCP, alertable
	3C:  No 4M and 13-15 HCP, alertable

At MP scoring push for 6C if 50% chance of making.  5C gets beat often by 3NT at other tables.
      At IMP scoring the bonus for 6C is substantial, so again push.
