Random Splinters, which allow you to show voids below the game level (e.g.: 1
-4
) in response to 1 of a major without identifying the short suit.
Extra Trump for Minor Suit Jump Raises:
In response to 1
or 1
, a splinter (as well as a limit raise) normally shows extra trump support. For example, a single raise just promises 3 of the major, but a limit raise or a splinter shows at least 4.
If this is applied to minors, where a single raise of Diamonds shows 4 (according to SAYC) and a single raise of Clubs shows 5, then limit raises and splinter raises should show at least 5 Diamonds or 6 Clubs.
