In contract bridge, an overcall is a bid made after an opening bid has been made by an opponent; the term refers only to the first such bid.
How many points is an overcall in bridge?
The Standard English definition of an overcall is: A 5-card or longer suit that is worth bidding, which contains two or more honours. A minimum of about 8 points for a one level bid and a maximum of around 16 points. There is usually a better bid available with stronger hands.
How many points do you need to overcall at the 2 level in bridge?
A suit overcall at the two level requires about 13-18 points, and here the suit quality is even more important. If your strength is minimum (13-15), you should have a good five-card suit — at least A-Q-J-x-x or K-Q-10-x-x — or any six-card suit.
