What is the ACBL standard American yellow card (SAYC)?

The ACBL Standard American Yellow Card (SAYC) was created to be the required system to be used in a Standard Yellow Card event. The object was to provide a simple, modern method that will lead to a good, solid understanding in a partnership when both players have read this booklet.

How do you play a SAYC?

When play began on the Internet, players needing a quick way to establish the method to be used in a relatively casual partnership adopted the SAYC. It is also used by players who meet at the partnership desk a few minutes before the game starts. Players may still exercise bridge judgment, such as opening a four-card major in third seat.

What is a 5NT bid?

A 5NT bid guarantees that the partnership holds all four aces. 4NT - 5C (= 0 or 4 aces.) 4NT - 5x - 5D (= 1 ace.) 5NT - 6C (= 0 or 4 kings.) - 5H (= 2 aces.) - 6D (= 1 king.) - 5S (= 3 aces.) - 6H (= 2 kings.) - 6S (= 3 kings.)

What does a bid mean in a game?

Bids are natural except for a cuebid, which may be used with game forcing strength as a substitute for Stayman. If the opponents intervene over a conventional response, bids carry the same meaning as if there were no intervention. A bid says, “II’m bidding voluntarily, so I have a real fit with you.”

The goal of bidding is to discover your partnership's shared strength. To do this, you have to communicate with each other using bidding - that's why we use these rules.

The best place to play is in a major suit (H or S) with a "fit," which means at least 8 cards in the between your partnership's hands. If you don't have a fit but your

partner is strong in the suits you are weak in (your hands balance each other), no trump might be a good place to play. Remember that, without a trump, short suits are a

liability, so you need to have balanced hands to play NT, or it could get ugly. A minor fit is your last resort - with game at the 5 level, they are rarely the right place to be.

Note that bidding is structured to favor finding a good suit as soon as possible, and to prefer major suits. Major suit contracts make game at the 4-level, minor suits at

the 5, so this makes sense. No trump suits make game at the 3-level, but are harder to play and require more overall strength. Remember that the idea is to bid out your

hand -- when you have more information to give and any prayer to make game, keep making informative bids. When you no longer have a chance at game, stop bidding.
