I read several entries about playing Precision, which was the second real system I ever played. Its one advantage over the system I now espouse is that just about everyone can pick it up rapidly. After playing Italian Blue Team Club (ala Bob Hamman), however, I'm hooked for life. The one drawback is that you must have a steady partner (and a GOOD partner), for the system is full of inuendos that only an established partnership can handle. As to its success: my partner and I have won three free trips in the Grand National Pairs competition playing it, as well as many sectional and regional events. If anyone is interested in a net discussion (debate?) of its superiority, I am open to attack.

I'm ready for a discussion, but first you should explain to those of us who are relatively new to the world of competitive bridge exactly what is "Italian Blue Team Club", how is it different from Precision, and why you think it is better.
