    Description

    A method of bidding defensively against an artificial forcing 1C opening bid developed by Kit Woolsey and Steve Robinson.

    The word CRASH is acronym for Color-RAnk-SHape.

    The convention is a bit similar to Robinson also devised by Robinson/Woolsey.

    After an opening of 1C forcing bid a DBL or an overcall of 1D or 1NT shows various types of two-suited hands.

    Responder bids as high as possible in cheapest suit. If this is not the feature of overcaller he will correct.
