1. Bidding partner's suit shows the two-suited hand without a singleton or void;

2. Bidding a new suit shows the two-suited hand with a singleton or void in the bid suit;

3. Rebidding the jump shift suit shows the single-suited hand;

4. Bidding no-trumps at the cheapest level shows a strong balanced hand.

When NOT to jump-shift:
