This is for beginners at our university bridge club, who know the mechanics of the game but are unfamiliar with any bidding system.

Do you have a beginner level bidding cheat sheet for standard 2/1, which lists bids and responses and rebids (the more detailed the better, but without any fancy gadgets) - so that they can start enjoying the game without first having to memorize the whole bidding structure?

Thanks!

I have such sheets for Dutch Acol. They might be relatively easy to convert to 2/1 GF, but it's not entirely trivial.

I recommend placing a lot of emphasis on the NT ladder. This simplifies a lot of other auctions by inference, though that's not the easiest thing for beginners to grasp at first.

I have them for a fairly standard 2/1 system, but in pdf written in Italian... I wouldn't be suprised if google (or even Acrobat itself) can have a good stab at translating the text, but you would still have to manually edit the suit symbols in diagrams somehow.

They are structured to offer one page for each important sequence opener-responder-opener, which I consider a much better solution than the traditional quagmire chapter of 'Second bid of Responder' (one can look up any actual auction in a minute to see what went wrong, or study the pages in sequence to see the bare bones of the system exposed).

You asked a while back about the Basic+ chart, so I infer you're in ACBL territory. If that's wrong, sorry, update your profile. :-)

Anyway, at baron-barclay bridge supplies, Barbara Seagram has this 2/1 cheat sheet and several others. Audrey Grant has this one. As you'll see, discounts are available for ACBL members, and quantity discounts are available if you want to buy for a class or a club or whatever.

No Fear Bridge have a very good 2 page summary they call a 5 card major cheat sheet.
4 of us used it a lot when we learned bridge.
It is SAYC and in pdf.
PDF Gear software does a nice conversion to Word
