Two hours on one convention, then you play it.
Each workshop pairs a two-hour lesson with two hours of Play of the Hand. Replays include both sessions: about 4 to 5 hours of recordings, plus workbooks and PBN files to practice the hands yourself.
Inverted Minors Workshop
A small raise. A big conversation. Learn why strong hands stay low and weak hands jump, then put the convention to work at the table.

The live lesson starts in
The lesson has started. See the workshop page for session and access details.
Then we play the hands together.
Play of the Hand: Monday, September 14, 3:00 to 5:00 PM Pacific. Practice with Tracey, ask questions, and see how the bidding connects to the play.
One ticket includes both live sessions, about 4 to 5 hours of recordings after the sessions, workbooks and PBN practice files. Included for VIP members.
Here's what a ticket buys you.
The four parts of every workshop, one at a time. Scroll through them, or tap a step to jump.
The lesson
A two-hour lesson with Tracey. Follow the explanations and student questions in the recording, and pause whenever you want to think through a hand.
Every workshop replay includes the two-hour lesson and the two-hour Play of the Hand session: about 4 to 5 hours of recordings in all. Watch the convention take shape, then see students bid and play the hands with Tracey. Keep the workbooks beside you and use the PBN files to practice those hands yourself. For upcoming workshops, recordings are included after each session.
Start with the convention that keeps costing you.
Explore the convention workshops, plus bonus sessions on the convention card and defensive signals. All in plain English. Slide along the shelf, then come live or take the replay.
Inverted Minors Workshop
Is 2♦ stronger than 3♦? Sort out the raises, understand partner's next bid, then practice the hands together.
Help Suit Game Tries and Spiral Raises Workshop
You open a major and partner raises, and game depends on one suit you’re worried about. A help suit game try names that suit and asks partner to cover it, and a spiral raise asks how long and how good partner’s raise really was.
Jacoby 2NT and Splinters Workshop
Partner opens a major and you have four trumps and real values. Jacoby 2NT asks about shape, the splinter bid tells it without being asked.
Stayman Workshop
Partner opens 1NT and you hold a four-card major. 2♣ asks the question that finds your fit.
Jacoby Transfers Workshop
Show your five-card major over 1NT and let the strong hand declare. The partner of Stayman.
Strong 2 Clubs Workshop
The one opening bid that says "I have a monster." What 2♣ promises and how the auction unfolds.
Takeout Doubles Workshop
The most flexible call in bridge. When to double, what it asks of partner, and how to respond.
Two Over One Workshop
The game-forcing framework tournament pairs rely on to bid the right games and slams.
Negative Doubles Workshop
The opponents overcall and your major is stuck. The negative double keeps it in the auction.
Weak 2 Bids Workshop
The most disruptive opening bid in bridge. Steal their auction with a six-card suit and 5 to 10 points, then find your game.
Let's Go Slammin' Workshop
Twelve tricks and how to find them. Control bids, Roman Keycard Blackwood 1430, and the tools that keep you out of the bad slams.
5-5 Hands Workshop
Two long suits and one bid that shows them both. Michaels cue bids, the Unusual 2NT, when to stay quiet, and how to defend when the opponents use them on you.
Forcing Auctions Workshop
You don't have enough information to place the contract, so you ask for more. Fourth suit forcing and new minor forcing are the auction's two most useful questions.
Convention Card Workshop
Fill out a card that matches the way you and your partner actually play, front to back.
Carding Workshop
Defensive signals that tell partner what you have and what you want. Attitude, count, and suit preference.

Both the two-hour lesson and the two-hour Play of the Hand session are recorded. Your replay includes about 4 to 5 hours of recordings, workbooks and PBN practice files. For upcoming workshops, recordings are included after each session. Watch on your schedule, as many times as you like.
Where can I practice with the PBN files?

Most problems are a password reset or an old page stored in your browser, and both are quick. The tech help page covers the common fixes step by step.
What is your refund policy?
If a workshop does not work the way we described it, we will make it right. Our team gets your access working Monday through Friday, and if we genuinely cannot, we refund you. Once you have opened the content the sale is final, and problems with your own device or connection are not grounds for a refund, because we would rather fix those than refund them. Buying from the EU or the UK? You have 14 days to change your mind, subject to the consent you give at checkout. Full policy on our support and refunds page.
Do I need a partner or tournament experience?
No. Each workshop focuses on one convention and is taught in plain English. If you know the basics of bidding, you can follow along.
What does VIP membership include?
Every live workshop, every replay, and the full 50 Conventions in 50 Days curriculum. VIP is $79 a month, or $750 for the year. Your membership renews automatically until you cancel, and annual members get a reminder 21 days before each renewal.
Who teaches the workshops?
Tracey Bauer, a two-time WBF Women's Spring Festival Champion (2020 and 2022) and Lifetime Platinum member. She teaches bridge the way tournament players actually play it.
