Toucan Club [Beall/Woodard]

Toucan is a modified 2/1 system using a natural but short club opening with transfer responses to it. Toucan Club Complete is a much expanded version of the original Toucan Club book, and contains many example hands and auctions.

“The one club sequences are powerful. Transfer auctions are valuable because they allow the partnership an extra step to exchange more information. Responder knows the extent of a major-suit fit very early in the auction. And finally, it can be difficult to defend accurately against a one club opener because the normal distributional clues that the defenders have in standard bidding may be absent.”
