Welcome
Welcome to the Rockstar Bridge website. The focus of this site is to document and write about a new system of bidding in Bridge. Standard American and 2/1 are good systems, but both have issues. Modern American bridge is broken down into 3 major subsections
- Opening and Responding to 1 of a Major
- Bidding with Strong, Preemptive and Competive hands
- Opening 1♣ and 1♦
The Category links in the top menu will show articles on these subsections.
