A Response By Your Partner that is Forcing for One Round

  • You opened the bidding with one of a suit.
  • Your partner, who had not passed, responded in a different suit at the 1-level (1 over 1).
  • Your partner's response is forcing for one round.
Why: If your partner had previously passed, his point range was 6-11 points. But, in this example, he did not, so he did not put an upper limit on his range. He might have opening points that, combined with yours, could result in a game bid or even a slam.
