If we choose to play these, it is important for us to have good agreements about how they change when the opponents come into our auction. Here we look at how to make sure we have good agreements with partner for these often disturbed conventions.

The opponents often compete in the bidding when we have a fit. That means auctions where we plan to use Inverted Minors, Feature Ask, or Help Suit Game Tries often get disrupted.
