| NSW State Wide Pairs 5 Aug |
On 5th August our club will participate in the NSW Statewide Pairs competition. This is much like Nationwide pairs but with significant differences.
- The event may be run anytime in the week from 1st - 7th August, but we will play on Monday 5th August.
- This will be run in the background of our normal duplicate pairs, just like Nationwide Pairs, and normal club green points will be awarded.
- The event will be match-pointed across the state after the results from all participating clubs have been received, and red points awarded, just like NWP.
- In addition, cash prizes will be awarded, as well as gift vouchers from the Bridge Shop and certificates for the winners in each club.
- Prizes are also awarded in the divisions of Under 25, Under 50 and Under 100 masterpoints, as of 30th June 2024.

| Checkback & 2-way Checkback |
Thank you, Bas for your thoughts and suggestions on the use of Checkback 2C and 2-way checkback.
Click see more to see Bas's notes, then see less to close up again.
2-way Checkback by responder
2C = weak OR invite, 2D = game force
1m - 1M - 1NT - ? Or any 3 one level partnership bids
2C = forces opener to bid 2D, can be used by
responder if they are weak and have D support or weak and
4M + longer D. OR to show an invitational hand. ex:
1C - 1H -1NT - 2C! -
2D! - Pass = 4c H, 5+ D & 6-9p, don't like NT.
1D - 1M - 1NT - 2C! -
2D! - 2M = 5+M, 10-11p, invitational, unbalanced.
Opener can PASS, or bid game in NT or Major if max
- 2NT = (10)-11p, balanced invite.
NB. The balanced invite using 2C! - 2D! - 2NT gives us room to use 2NT over 1NT directly as a force to 3C if you are weak with long Cs and a 4c M:
1m - 1M - 1NT - 2NT!
3C! - pass = 6-9p with long Cs and a 4c M.
1m - 1M - 1NT - 2D! = GF check back.
Opener now shows features up-the-line.
NB. 2D check-back also follows when opener opens and repeats Clubs.
