Maxi Roman

The Mini and Maxi Roman conventions were devised originally by the Italians - hence the name.
The convention specified here can be summarized as "No Trump" with a singleton - i.e. precisely 4-4-4-1 shape.
To increase the frequency of use, you may choose to add 5-4-4-0 and 5-4-3-1 shapes too,
but then you will need to devise an intricate set of relays to find out the distributions (see Mini Roman)
