Most however, are made at high      levels toward the end of the bidding. w  Most penalty Doubles are optional. If your      partner strongly feels that the opponents      will make their contract, he can make a bid      and  negate the Double.
	TAKE-OUT DOUBLE w  If you want your partner to bid a suit then      Double opponent’s bid. w  Your partner must bid even with 0 points.      (There are 2 exceptions).  w  All Doubles on the one level are Take-Out. w  All Doubles are of opponent’s bid. You can      not Double your partner. w  If the Double is your first call (after an      opponent’s bid), it is for Take-Out w  Do not use a Take-Out Double if you have      length in opponent’s suit. Overcall or Pass. w  A Take-Out Double of a Minor implies at      least 3/3 in the Majors. (Three cards  in      each of the Majors.)
