Subject: Paragraphs 7C1(A) to 7C1(D) (inclusive) of 2024 Blue Book
Has anyone got a list of examples of the strong bids that would be permissible under the above paragraphs covered in the 2024 Blue Book ? There is a lot of good stuff covered in these paragraphs about strong meanings, non-strong meanings, the number of cards in the suit called or not etc etc. I need to explain all of these in layman's terms to our members. So if anyone has prepared a paper or have some examples that you could share with me, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

The Blue Book uses the term "semi-balanced" and has the following definition of balanced:
Distributions [4432], [4333], [5332], [5422] and [6322] are balanced;
all other distributions are unbalanced
but there is no definition of semi-balanced.
I think I know what it is but can anybody supply clarification?
I think 'semi-balanced' is only used once in 6G2. This appears to be the only occurence of 'semi'.
I think 'balanced; is no singleton or void, at most one doubleton; and semi-balanced is no singleton or void, at most two doubletons.
Thank you. That is what I thought it was.
