As a corollary, a 3NT response shows 13-15 HCP. Thus the natural meanings of 2NT and 3NT are inverted to facilitate slam exploration at the 3-level.
Rebid | Meaning |
---|---|
Any new suit | Natural, 4+ cards (up the line) with slam interest. |
Suit rebid at the 3-level | Natural, 6+ cards. |
3NT | A balanced minimum. May have a 4-card major. |
