i. Control Points Asking (CPA):
 
 - NOTE: The abbreviation "CP" is for Control Points, "PL" is for Play Level, "B#" for Base Number.
  A pseudo Control, a Void or a Singleton, can be counted only if there are no duplications with the real one.
 
ii. Games and Slams frames

 - With 24 to 30 CP you can make a Game, 32 to 36 CP are necessary for a Small Slam, and 36+ real CP may
        bring the Grand one. The answers depend on your partner's base, i.e.:

- with 28-30 CP you won't have problems for a Game in Minor suits if your PL = 5
- with 24-30 CP you will make a Game, but you can play 3NT even with as low as 20 CP 
          (if you have partial stoppers in all suits, of course) if your PL >= 5. but if it is 4 only, 
          You will need at least one 5 by 3 Misfit (or better). Pay attention, even two 4 by 4 		   fits won't help you!
- with 32-36 CP you may play a Small Slam, if your PL >= 6.
- with 40+ CP (36+ real CP) you may play a Grand Slam if your PL >= 7.

 NOTE: Pay attention that for the NT contracts, the NT PL is 1 below your suit's PL if you do not have 
       any 5 by 3/4 or 6 by 2/3 FIT, otherwise they are equal.

iii. Answers for the CP (A = 6, K = 4)

NOTE: If your partner already knows your exact shape, do NOT include in your CP's answers the Singleton's CP,
      except when you have 2 Singletons and must include 4 CP for one of them. If you have a Void you must
      include for it 6 CP. Your partner will take care of the corrections if needed. If you do not follow that, you
      may not be able to count enough CP for a proper CP answer!

 - With Negative Base B(-1) or less, the answers start from Zero Kings ( 0 CP), the next step is
        for 1 King (or 4 CP), the 3rd step is for 1 Ace (or 6 CP) and so on by 2 CP.

 - With Neutral Base, B(0), the answers start from 1 King (or 4 CP), because there is no Control
        with 2 CP value, the next step is for 6 CP, the 3rd step is for 8 CP and so on by 2 CP.

 - With Base B1 you simply do not count 1 King (4 CP), and the answers start from 6 CP, the next step
        is for 8 CP, the 3rd step is for 10 CP and so on by 2 more CP.

 - With Base B2 you simply do not count 2 Kings (8 CP), and the answers start from 10 CP, the next step
        is for 12 CP, the 3rd step is for 14 CP and so on by 2 more CP.

- With B# = 2.5 you simply do not count 2.5 Kings (10 CP), and the answers start from 12 CP, the next step
       is for 14 CP, the 3rd step is for 16 CP and so on by 2 more CP.

 - With Base B3 you simply do not count 3 Kings or 2 Aces (12 CP), and the answers start from 14 CP, the
        next step is for 16 CP, the 3rd step is for 18 CP and so on by 2 more CP.

- With B# = 3.5 you simply do not count 3.5 Kings (14 CP), and the answers start from 16 CP, the next step
       is for 18 CP, the 3rd step is for 20 CP and so on by 2 more CP.

 - With Base B4 you simply do not count 4 Kings (16 CP), and the answers start from 18 CP, the next 
        step is for 20 CP, the 3rd step is for 22 CP and so on by 2 more CP.

- With B# = 4.5 you simply do not count 4.5 Kings (18 CP), and the answers start from 20 CP, the next step
       is for 22 CP, the 3rd step is for 24 CP and so on by 2 more CP.

 - With Bases, B5 and up,  you simply do not count 5 Kings (20 CP), and the answers start from 22 CP, the
        next step is for 24 CP, the 3rd step is for 26 CP and so on by 2 more CP.

NOTE: Recently, we have decided to exchange the answers for the 1st and the 3rd steps for space saving benefit.
           Even more, to discover an usually undetected Singleton Queen, we decided to use the 1st step CPA answer
           for "YES" confirmation of a Singleton TOP Honor by using it. If you have a Singleton, but you do not have
           there a TOP Honor, simply skip the 1st step, and start to answer for your CP by the next step. In the cases
           when you do not have a Singleton at all, is not applicable. You may use CPA if it is easier for you.

*****************

 - How to find the exact number of your partner's Kings + Aces along with their kind with one ONLY question? 

     Divide the CP number by 6 and DO NOT pay attention to the result, but to the REMINDER !!!

 - With REMINDER of 0 your partner has 0 or 3 KINGS
 - With REMINDER of 2 your partner has only 2 KINGS
 - With REMINDER of 4 your partner has 1 or 4 KINGS

 - Because the rest of CP pts are for the Aces, you will discover your partner's exact number of ACES + KINGS
           with One ONLY question!

 - The next Relay is for the KING(s)' suits by SCOR. If your partner has only 1 King, he will show its suit
       naturally, if he has 3 Kings, he will show the suit where he has no King (the omit suit).

iiii. For HONOR PLACES by SLAM BIDDING. 

 - After showing your CPs, if the QUEST continues with Relays, s/he ask for the Controls` places.

1. If you have 1 King + 1 Ace show them simultaneously using SCOR-S(cor). If they are in the same suit, use the 2nd S from scor-Scor. If a normal Relays follow, answer for the Queen(s) presence,
      but if a JUMP RELAY (one step UP) occurs, show your Ace's suit first, and after a new Relay
     (if any), show your Queen(s) presence. You can use CRAS-C(rash) instead.

2. If you have two Kings, simply use the first part of SCOR or CRASH to show them.

3. If you have an odd number of Kings:

 - With 1 King simply show the King's suit naturally. 
 - With 3 Kings bid into the suit where you do not have a King.

4. If you have Aces, but do not have Kings at all:

 - If you have two Aces, simply use the first part of SCOR or CRASH to show them.

5. If you have an odd number of Aces:

 - With 1 Ace simply show the Ace's suit naturally.
 - With 3 Aces bid into the suit where you do not have an Ace.

NOTE: Do not forget one thing: Your partner ALWAYS will know EXACTLY how many Kings and Aces
        you hold. Never worry about that and always answer properly.

****************

 After pre-emptive openings or overcalls, your priority answer may be for your B# in 
      conjunction with the opponents' preemptive's Level:

1. No VUL : After a Preemptive Opening (Overcall) on 2nd Level, your 1st step answer may be 1
       below the preemptive opening's Level, i.e., with B# = 1 or less, your CP may be 8 CP or less:
- Pass: B# = Zero or less, 4 CP or less.
- Double: Penalty with 4+ cards in the preemptive suit and B1+, 8+ CP.
- The bid in the suit next above the opponent's preemptive bid: B1, 8+ CP.
- The next bid above: B2, 12+ CP.
- The next bid above: B3, 16+ CP.
- The next bid above: B4, 18+ CP.
- The next bid above: B5+, 22+ CP. 

2. After a Preemptive Opening (Overcall) on 2nd Level VUL or on 3rd Level No VUL, your 1st step answer
         may be with B# = 2 or less, your CP may be12 or less:

- Pass: B1 or less, 8 CP or less.
- Double: Penalty with 4+ cards in the preemptive suit and B2+, 12+ CP.
- The bid in the suit next above the opponent's preemptive bid: B2, 12+ CP.
- The next bid above: B3, 16+ CP.
- The next bid above: B4, 18+ CP.
- The next bid above: B5+, 22+ CP. 

2. VUL : After a Preemptive Opening (Overcall) on 3rd Level Vulnerable, our 1st step answer may be with B# = 3
       or less, your CP may be16 CP or less:

- Pass: B# = 2 or less12 CP or less, .
- Double: Penalty with 4+ cards in the preemptive suit and B3+, 16+ CP.
- The bid in the suit next above to the opponent's preemptive bid: B3, 16+ CP.
- The next bid above: B4, 18+ CP.
- The next bid above: B5+, 22+ CP. 

*******************

 - Some curious things about the bridge arithmetic:

- If you know your partner's Control Points (including the Pseudo CP for the Voids and the Singletons),
     but do not know his Base Number, you can find it by using the next Formula: B# = CP/4 - 1.
- The same is true if you know the partner's B# and want to find his CP without asking for them: CP = 4*B# + 4
- For a Small Slam confirmation use the Formula: if PL + CP > 37 you have a Small Slam

 - If your partner asks you for your Queen(s), you use the next step answers (by SCOR after the 1st step):
- 1st step: 0/3+ Queens (you may decide it to be: no Queen in the Trunp suit).
- 2nd step: 2 "SHAPE" Queens or 1 Queen in the bid suit.
- 3rd step: 2 "COLOR"Queens or 1 Queen in the bid suit.
- 4th step: 2 "RANK" Queens or 1 Queen in the bid suit.

NOTE: Because you always can use the Formula: Q = 2*B# + 4 - CP/2 to find your partner's number of Queens
      without asking for them, you may decide to use directly the SCOR's 2nd to 4th steps instead!
