Baron Convention

To use the Baron convention selected the Baron option in the Conventions Dialog.

If both Stayman and Baron are selected, Stayman will be used over 1 No Trump and Baron will be used over 2 No Trump.

With Baron, a response of 3 clubs over 2 No Trump asks the partner to bid their lowest 4+ card suit. The objective is to find a suit fit. Any subsequent suit bid should be of the next 4+ card suit that can be bid at the lowest level. Missing a suit in the sequence denies having 4+ cards in that suit.

To bid the Baron convention a player should hold 6+ points and a short suit.
