Transfers Following An Intervening Bid
Standard bidding in most systems is that all responses following a natural suit overcall are themselves natural bids ("double" may be used for take-out). An alternative is that such responses, including "double", act as transfers. For example, following a 1NT opening and a 2♦ overcall:
- double ... transfer to hearts
- 2♥ ... transfer to spades
- 2♠ ... transfer to clubs
