Help Suit Game Tries - Sometimes in an auction you believe game may be possible, but you are just a little short. If you could just figure out how your hand works with partner's hand, it would be easier to make that decision. This workshop is designed to allow you and your partner to discover if your hands are fitting together well enough to make game possible. Help Suit Game Tries are bids that allow you to ask partner for "help" in a specific suit in certain situations.
