* = Overcall at the 2-level requires 11+ pts and SQ=8 or better

# = Game try Double

Game try Double
When both sides have raised their suit :
a double is a Game try double inviting Partner to bid Game with extra values, or bidding 3 of the raised suit with a minimum.

a second raise of the suit to the 3-level is merely competitive, not an invitation to Game.

South above, with only 7 losers and 4 trumps, can raise to Game.
