Are there any female SE4 players?

DirectorTsaarx,

We also play spades & bridge with her parents;

Small world. I just started playing Spades with my In-laws who live in Northern VA. They are very good at Bridge, so they have beaten the pants off of us 3 times. I just taught my wife how to play... I hope we beat them, or I'll have to configure the teams as you have!

Woah! Congratulations - 65% is pretty darn good! My wife & I bid a modified KS with 12 to 14 point NoTrumps. Would we fit in with your club?

(I have always hear that English ridicule Americans for their security blanket of the 'strong' no trump... I am assuming your are English from the url.)

Thanks ! Even though I live in UK, I learned bridge when I was in Texas (Austin). So we play "modern Standard American" - 2over1 GF.
Most people here still play Acol (4card Majors, 12-14 NT, strong twos). I suspect our bidding system gives us more tops than my card playing ability deserves. People very often play in NT with 8-card fit in majors or wind up in 4-3 fit. You would do very well playing Kaplan-Sheinwold !

Do you think your bidding system confuses your opponents or do you think it is superior? I once knew someone that was planning on learning ACOL and I once faced a couple of guys at a regional that were playing something based on it (I think).

4 Card Majors ---UGH!
