BRIDGE UNLEASHED PRESENTS

Two live sessions

What You'll Learn

The Double That Isn't About Penalty.

It's About Finding Home.

In Workshop #6, you'll master the Negative Double, the tool that lets you show your major after an opponent overcalls, even when a normal bid can't get you there. Once you see it, every double you make after that makes more sense.

♠

There's a moment every bridge player knows:

Partner opens. Right hand opponent overcalls.

You're sitting with a good major and decent points, and suddenly nothing you can bid says what you actually mean.

Most players either force a bid that doesn't fit, or they pass and hope for the best.

♥

But there's a better way.

The Negative Double is one of the most important tools in modern bidding, and one of the most misunderstood. Used correctly, it tells partner exactly one thing, tell me about your major. It is not a penalty double.

It is not about punishing the opponents. It is a precise, descriptive message that keeps your side in the auction.

Level Up

In Workshop #6, Tracey walks you through exactly what the double promises, how that promise changes with the level, what opener does with it, and when NOT to reach for it at all.

THE TWO-SESSION FORMAT
This workshop is two sessions — a Lesson and a Play of the Hand — so you don't just learn it, you use it.

WHO THIS IS FOR

This workshop is perfect for you if:

●You're a newer or intermediate player building your competitive bidding toolkit

●You've heard "negative double" but aren't fully confident using it

●You and your partner get confused about what a double means once an opponent overcalls

●You've already learned Support Doubles or Responsive Doubles and want to see where the idea started

●You want a precise tool for competing in the auction, without guessin.

♣

After this workshop, you'll know:

What a Negative Double actually shows, and why it has nothing to do with penalty

How the requirements change depending on the level of the overcall

What opener does with the double, minimum, invitational, or a monster hand

When to bid your own suit instead of doubling, and when to pass and wait

How the Negative Double connects to Support Doubles and Responsive Doubles, the same idea at different points in the auction

How to put it all together at the table with real hand practice

What's Included

Every Workshop Is Now Two Live Sessions

Learn it on Lesson Day. Lock it in on Play Day.

♠ 90-Minute Live Lesson

SESSION 1: THE LESSON

Wednesday, July 22, 2026 2:00 PM Pacific

Tracey teaches the Negative Double from the ground up, what it shows, how the promise scales with the level, and the three buckets opener uses to respond. You'll leave knowing exactly what to bid and why.

♥ Q&A With Tracey

♦ Play of the Hand Session
