Playing standard French 5 card majors (not too different from SAYC), my
partner would like to make 1C forcing; if partner has 0-5, he bids 1D (would
have been ideal for a 20pt hand with six clubs and a singleton heart that I
had the other day). Obviously this introduces a few knock-on effects and I
wondered if anybody can point me in the direction of an 'official'
discussion of this methodology if one exists.

Thanks

Marc

A good treatment is Dutch Doubleton.

In this system 1C can be 2 cards and includes ANY 18-20 balanced and weak NT hands with 4432 exactly.

See for example this convention card:

I have considered that situation in some detail, and put it to discussion at this forum, namely here.

take french sys and add 1C forcing is the hard way ! lol
and definitively not the french philosophy arghhhhhhh

french by the way of life i dont love it (am italian and meck/well fan)
and play a medium responses (to 1C) precision like 1C 15+
with 1S 5+, 1H 5+ or 44M w one m 4+, 1D 2+, 2C 6+

but i hope much you can perform your idea to a more comfortable use
every work on sys drop you near truth
