DOPI
DOPI is the acronym for "Double = 0, Pass = 1." It is a convention used after partner bids 4NT Blackwood but the next player overcalls (usually in a sacrifice attempt). Using DOPI, the Blackwood bidder's partner has the following options available:
| X | 0 aces |
| Pass | 1 ace |
| Cheapest bid over the overcall | 2 aces |
| Second-cheapest bid | 3 aces |
| Third-cheapest bid | 4 aces |
If opener rebids 5NT, he is making a Blackwood query for kings. All other rebids by opener are natural signoffs.
