¶ Signals 🔣
Signals enable the defenders (opponents of the declarer) to communicate suit preference during play.
When done correctly, signals can significantly improve defensive coordination. The Bridge Champ bot supports the following signal types:
- Suit preference signal
- Honor sequence signal
- Doubleton signal
¶ Suit preference signal
Used when the defender has no cards in the trick suit and cannot or doesn’t want to ruff. The defender plays a card to indicate preference for another suit:
- High cards (9,8,7,6): Prefer higher suit
- Low cards (2,3,4,5): Prefer lower suit
In a no-trump or trump game, suit preference signals follow slightly different rules based on remaining suits. Only non-honor cards (2–9) are used for this purpose.
¶ Honor sequence signal
Signals a sequence of 4+ consecutive cards in a suit starting with an honor card. The player discards the highest honor (Jack or above) from the sequence.
¶ Doubleton signal
Signals that the player holds exactly two cards in the suit. Not allowed if either is an honor. The higher card is played first, followed by the lower one.
The bot supports both sending and understanding signals.
