Rest (including 2) for the 2 suiter group

After knowing complete distribution:
3= to play
4= endsignal
rest = Slam asking bid (slab)
In case of not asking with the final relay for exact distribution (incl. eventually min or max) you can ask for controls/stopper(s) and if needed you can continue with exact distribution relay.
Additionally for the 8+ 9-carders (1 suiters) there is a separate scheme included in the Delta scheme for RR
OR if
you prefer a complete integration of all the 1-suiters 8- up to 12-carders,
see the DELTEX scheme for R and RR

the [2

relay
could be a little bit inconvenient
in some cases (if you prefer to play 2
)
in that case you can use the [2

bid as
a relay
the 3
answer should be then the <4441> minimum
the 4
answer should be then the <4441> maximum, so still under the endsignal
level
OR
use the
