3 = 6-1-3-3
4 = 7 QPs (3/2/1)
4N = - yes, - 0/4+ QP (so 0 this time)
5 = - 0/4+ QP, so A-Q.
5 = ?

With DCB, we switch to positive cueing (PCB) with singletons.
Our agreement with stiff honours devalues K & Q:
A = 3 QP
K = 1 QP, then cue to show it
Q = 0 QP, then ignore?

So this is the question.

DO you ignore stiff queens completely? Or
Do ignore them when counting QP but still cue them as stiff A/K/Q?

Not an approach I use, but I wouldn't ignore them completely. Valuing then depends on whether partner has bid the suit and you can identify value.

We do not ignore stiff queens at all, so I suppose I cannot answer this question.
