I just noticed that the FD CC for Bridge Base Standard defines one of a minor - two no-trump as 11-12.

ACDL SAYC booklet, the BBO online system summary and old style CC all show the 2NT response to one of a minor as 13-15 GF.

No big deal but I had thought that Bridge Base Standard followed SAYC.

In fact the FD card for SAYC also has the same discrepancy, indicating that 1m-2NT is invitational when it should be forcing, and that 1m-3NT is 13-15 (should be 16-18 or thereabouts).

I was taught 1m - 2nt = 10-12 no 4cm
1m - 3nt = 13-14
This is from prairienet.org/bridge

Direct jump to 2NT (12-15 pts., balanced, no major suit) --1D-2NT
Note: This is "Standard", but many pairs play this as invitational (11-12 pts.).
