Abstract Every (t+ 1)-design B satisfies (+) If T is a set of t points, and B a block of B then the number α (T, B) of flags (x, A) with x∉ T, x ϵ B, T∪{x}⊆ A depends only on| T∩ B|. A t-design with property (+) is called a t 1 2-design. The most interesting general classes of t-designs are t 1 2-designs: Hadamard 3-designs are 3 1 2-designs, symmetric 2-designs are 2 1 2-designs, and dual 2-designs, transversal designs, and partial geometries are 1 1 2-designs; in fact, 1 1 2-designs share most properties of partial geometries. 1 1 2-designs are studied in detail, and their connection with strongly regular graphs is investigated. It is shown that t 1 2-designs behave like t-designs with respect to derivation, residuals, and complementation. Various characterizations of partial geometries, generalized quadrangles, symmetric 2-designs, and Hadamard 3-designs are given in terms of t 1 2-designs. The paper ends with a proof that t 1 2-designs with t⩾ 4 are already (t+ 1)-designs.
