The Obvious Shift Principle

Read about the Obvious Shift Principle for guidelines on signalling in defence. Much damage was caused to IITM bridge by the stupidity of Guthi &c., who decided some two (three?) years back that they would always signal count because it was too difficult to keep track of the different signals. While all of us now recognize—broadly—the types situation in which each kind of signal is warranted, the fundamental meaning of signals still eludes us, in my opinion.

What does an encouragement signify? You don't know? Visit the link to find out. It contains a nice codification of rules.
