    appropriate colour – in keeping with the following descriptions:

   Green   Natual   

   Blue     Strong Club/Strong Diamond, where one club/ one

              diamond is always strong

              Examples

              would be a system where one club shows one of three

              types - a natural club suit, a balanced hand of a specific

              range, or a Strong Club opener, or a system in which the

              basic methods (other than the no trump range) vary

              according to position, vulnerability and the like, or a

              system that uses conventional "weak" or "multi-

              meaning" bids (with or without some weak option) in

              potentially contestable auctions, other than those

              described in the main part of the WBF Convention

              Booklet (copies available seperately)
