Asking here so I at least have a chance of not being forced to try to decipher the charts.

I've seen various statements of the GCC HCP parameters for opening at the two level with two suiters, both suits known. I can't always be sure that I'll be allowed to play up, so I try to keep things GCC-legal: anyone have the definite skinny?

6.OPENING BID AT THE TWO LEVEL OR HIGHER indicating two known suits, a minimum of 10 HCP and at least 5–4 distribution in the suits
is the only GCC statement on two-suiters.

*Weak* two-suiters with at least one known suit are mid-chart if there exists an approved defense, else Super-chart.

TY. Appreciate this, though I don't much like the answer....

Am I being dense or does the GCC omit the standard weak 2?

The gcc doesn't regulate natural bids because they didn't have the right to do when it was formulated.
