The local version of 2/1 is called BBO Expert and is available in the BBO notes, at least using the older version. There is also an FD CC for it available. For a more general write-up of 2/1 a good place to start is Dan's site - sorry I do not have the link handy as I am at work; I will edit it in when I get home if someone else does not do it for me before.

The useful links at Dan Neill's systems site would seem to be the two different okbridge 2/1 links, which should be as close to an "internet standard 2/1" as you're going to find.

There's also Karen Walker's bridge site, which has some basic material on 2/1 in the "intermediate to advanced" section.

There's also Bridgebase Advanced 2/1, which has a few more gadgets than the above which pickup partners are less likely to play, though you may find some willing to agree to play it. If so, there are default convention cards and FD cards already on Bridgebase.

Added: One more is GIB 2/1, which is fairly standard and which many will have experienced when playing with GIB (the robots on Bridgebase). I guess this is also the convention card used in the BBO Express tournaments.

That is the whole problem.

To many systems around that call themselves 2/1.

That is why I never play 2/1 with a pick-up partner.



PS: don't forget the BWS Standard , which you will find on the Bridge World pages.
