One of the first gadgets a bridge player needs is a way to force game of a minor opening.
The most common method is to play 'inverted minors' where 1m 2m is game forcing (in both sayc and 2/1).
2m usually denies a 4 card major, follow ups need to be discussed.
With no agreements you need to create a bid, 1♠ and jump to game over partners rebid.
"And no matter what methods you play, it is essential, for anyone aspiring to learn to be a good player, to learn the importance of bidding shape properly." MikeH

"At last: just calm down, this kind of disrupted boards happens every day in our bridge community. It will always be an inherent part of bridge until we move to a modern platform, and then will we have other hopefully less frequent issues." P Swennson
