Does anyone know if the System File commissioned in 1993 by the Educational Trust for British Bridge is being used by young, national players as a starting point for discussing and defining agreements?

It looks like a very thoughtful and practical guideline for consideration by advancing intermediate players.

As a recent England U25 I can tell you I've never seen it before, and I doubt anyone else has in the last ten years. Also, hardly any of the juniors play Acol these days in their regular partnerships.

I used it as a basis for the notes for one partnership, one of the other juniors was asking me where he could find it recently.

It answers the 4441 question, maybe something for Helene to get her Acol partnership running?
