This Is the third of . series of four articles based upon less known, but Fundamental. bidding situations discussed by Charles Fl. 0oren, of Philadelphia, in his new book, "Winning Bridge Made Easy" Signs-Offs
 Rebids in bridge are divided into two classes--encoura and dis- couraging.
 Encouraging, or constructive" bids invite partner to bid again; discouraging bids ask partner to pass. These discouraging rebids are known as sign-offs.
 A sign-oR usually implies that you have pictured the strength of your hand and that, so far as you are concerned, you are willing to have the bidding drop. It does not command partner to stop bidding, but warns him that he proceeds at his own risk.
 All sign-oR bids by the original bidder are mild and not emphatic. The reason is plain. Though the opener is signing off, he nevertheless still holds the values required for an opening bid.
 In the case of the responding hand (the partner of the player who has opened the bidding), it is more emphatic. because his bidding may have been made under pres- sure.
 If your partner invites you to bid and you merely rebid the same suit, you are signing of. If, how ever, your partner suggests that you pass, and you bid again. even in the same suit. this not necessarily sign-off. It may be an attempt to move forward in the bidding, but the situation Is one that must be

and the bidding has gone
 Opening hand, one heart; re- spending hand, one spade; open ing hand, two hearts; respond ing hand, two spades the bid of two spades is not a sign-off.
 The two-heart bid by the open ing hand invited partner to pass, but since the responding hand has bid again, after this invitation, he assumes responsibility for the fu- turc of the hand by inviting an- other rebid by the opener. Copyright. lo3s. NEA Service, lnc)
