Help
I don't play any sort of flannery , my new teammates do and have sent me a link to these notes to study. haha
Adventures In Bridge, Reverse Flannery
So it's always 5 spades and 4-5 hearts, otherwise, we just bid up the line?
Anything to look out for?

I loved playing the simple version
Not this fancy complicated version
Not a fan.just reading your link gave me a headache
Simple version
1m-2h
8-11 5s and 4 hearts period, end, period
Now I keep running into people who only know this version....

When playing Reverse Flannery, the sequences 1m-1♠; 1NT-2♥ and 1m-1♠; 2(o)m-2♥ are GF.
In theory, the checkback sequences over 1m-1♠; 1NT-? could therefore deny 4 hearts, and compress the auction and prevent information leakage. In practice I've never seen anybody play this.
Indeed you bid up the line with 4-5 hearts and 4 spades.

I have been analysing the system cards for the European Mixed Teams (starts tomorrow) and the European U31 Juniors (starts in a week) for my friends who are playing.
One of the consistent themes, that is conventions played by a significant number of pairs, is reverse flannery responses.

It varies.
Some use two responses, weak and invitational, many have just a weak version, and a couple use a wide-range option (5-11) which looks unplayable to me
