In the card game contract bridge, Stayman is a bidding convention used by a partnership to find a 4-4 or 5-3 trump fit in a major suit after making a one notrump opening bid; it has been adapted for use after a 2NT opening, a 1NT overcall and many other natural notrump bids. The convention is named for Sam Stayman, who wrote the first published description in 1945, but its inventors were two other players: the British expert Jack Marx in 1939, who published it only in 1946, and Stayman's regular partner George Rapée in 1945.
