If the deal is competitive or a part-score then you almost certainly belong in clubs.

Why? Spades can outcompete hearts and diamonds, clubs cannot. Maybe I don't understand acol, does 1C deny spades or something? This is a major point because it is the main reason I think it's important to bid 1S.

No, but if you have a 4-4 spade fit you will have a 5-5 club fit.

With support for a minor suit, bid a major suit of your own first.

Par. 2.2.1

Thanks for the link. Until now the only link I could find was here
http://www.ebu.co.uk.../landyfiles.htm
which is incomplete as a system description.

I find it odd that the full system file is available (as far as I can tell) only from a link that is not part of the EBU site.
Psych (pron. saik): A gross and deliberate misstatement of honour strength and/or suit length. Expressly permitted under Law 73E but forbidden contrary to that law by Acol club tourneys.

Psyche (pron. sahy-kee): The human soul, spirit or mind (derived, personification thereof, beloved of Eros, Greek myth).
Masterminding (pron. mPosted ImagesPosted ImagetPosted Imager-mPosted ImagendPosted Imageing) tr. v. - Any bid made by bridge player with which partner disagrees.

"Gentlemen, when the barrage lifts." 9th battalion, King's own Yorkshire light infantry,
