Before you play#

A convention card is a summary of your partnership agreements. Both members of a partnership carry identical cards, and opponents may consult them. In most events you should have a completed card ready before the first round.

Filling one out#

  1. Agree your opening bids and notrump ranges with your partner.
  2. Mark your responses, competitive agreements, and carding (leads and signals).
  3. Note any conventions that require an alert or announcement.

What's permitted#

Which agreements you may play depends on the event's convention chart. The Convention Charts & Alert Procedures set out what each chart allows, and the event's Conditions of Contest 2.1 name the chart in force.
