Goulash tourneys are fun to playbut difficult for pick up partnerships.I wonder a System FD to use especially in Goulash tourneys.It will surely help to better compete and will protect partners from many misunderstandings.Lower intermediate like me may take a lot of help from this hoped FD.Could an expert do this work please?

How would a FD card help? The players wouldn't know the system they're playing.

FD is a great way to inform about a system you've agreed to play, it's a horrible way to learn a new system.

And what difference is there between a CC for goulash tourneys and normal tourneys? Are there some conventions that are especially useful for showing 8-card suits?

Judging by the goulash vugraph between the BB matches last night, yes.

For instance 1NT showed 3 suited hands and opening 1 bids showed 6+ in the suit.

So I think people played different conventions due to the vastly different probabilities and distributions.
