Yes I did short summaries, for the Canuck team. Then, over time I add details and style notes to them. Am doing same thing for Venice Cup.

If the 1♦ opening still handled balanced, but with 4+♦s then it was natural with 2+ clubs (usually 4-4-3-2 exactly opening 1♣). If 1♣ handled a complete or almost complete balanced range, then it was "♣s or balanced" (these did not include Polish Club openings which is a different class).

The small upgrades/downgrades were not counted - so Meckwell 14-16/15-17 is not variable.
