Pick a Slam
Some bridge writers have said that this agreement has taken the place of Josephine's Grand Slam Force, but others think the two can be used together.  I don't see a conflict between them.

A player asked me the other day what Pick-a-Slam meant when an opponent explained a 5-level bid made by her partner.  He said he understood the choice, but wanted to know the more explicit terms of the agreement.  I told him there were probably a couple of different understandings of how to play this, but this is my choice...
    Pick-a-Slam can be employed in a couple of different auctions, but perhaps the most widely used and best understood occurs when the opening bid is 1NT and responder transfers to a major.  After the opener accepts the transfer then responder's second bid, a jump to 5NT, is Pick-a-Slam - Partner, please choose a slam in either the transfer suit or 6NT.  Pass is not an option.

    Another opportunity to use Pick-a-Slam is when both partners have bid different suits and then raised each other.  A bid of 5NT says, Choose mine or yours, partner, but let's bid a slam.

    One more...  If you have shown two suits in the auction, then responder's jump to 5NT is also Pick-a-Slam - choose the better of your suits.
