** A Reverse is bidding a lower ranking suit then
       rebidding a higher ranking suit. Example: you open
      1 and partner responds 1 No Trump.
      If you rebid 2 , then you made a Reverse. (You
      reversed the natural bidding order.) Note: the
      Reverse rebid must be at the two level or higher.


	REBID MAJOR A bid of one of a Major shows a five card suit. A rebid should show something new. No sense giving your partner information he already has. Therefore a rebid of the Major shows at least a six card suit. (Could be a seven or eight carder.) A rebid at the 2 level is a MIN opener; at the 3 level a MED opener; and at the 4 level a MAX opener (a seven card suit or a very good six).	Extra! Extra! Read all about it.
