System restrictions
use of HUM systems (Highly Unusual Methods) is prohibited.
"Brown Sticker" conventions will be prohibited, except Wilkosz 2
diamonds.
Definitions:
HUM - Strong Pass; opening bids at one level with less than 8 HCP or
weaker than pass by partnership agreement; opening bids at one level
which shows either length or shortage in a specified suit, or either
length in a specified suit or length elsewhere. Brown Sticker - weak
opening bid of two clubs through three spades which does not promise at
least four cards in a known suit; suit overcall of a natural opening
bid of one of a suit that does not promise at least four cards in a
known suit.
Alerting policy
Alerting policy coincides with WBF's one. Conventional bids and bids
with special meaning should be alerted. Attention must be drawn to the
fact that so should be alerted:
- non-forcing responses in a new suit to opening bids and overcalls
from unpassed hand (both: with skip and without it);
- weak non-inviting skip raises of partner's suit;
- non-classical opening bids on two-level or higher (there is no need
to alert Weak Two Majors);
- 1 NT opening bid which contains less than 14 HCP or can be done with
5-card major or 4441;
- all bids where partnership have previous repeated
experience of psyching.
All doubles and redoubles, no-trump bids which suggests a balanced or
semi-balanced hand or no-trump contract, and all bids, with the
exception of conventional opening suit bids, at the four level should
not be alerted
Psychics
It is prohibited to psyche with one-level conventional opening bid.
System protected psychics bids are prohibited.
