How to modify FULL DISCLOSURE? 2 diamond "waiting" vs half controls

My partner and I are practising the 2/1 system.
We don't like the 2♦ waiting response on the 2♣ opening, but prefer the half-controls bidding (2♦ = 0/1 half control, 2♥ = 2 half-controls (2 kings or 1 ace), 2♠ = 3 half-ctrls...etc.
We would like to modify the 2/1 convention card (I think we should give it another name), but can't find a way to operate this change.
Is there a way to do it?

Control showing responses to 2♣ openings.

This method is not uncommon. I have never had any problem disclosing it on a convention card.

I will say that what you refer to as "half-controls" is usually referred to as "controls." A King counts as one control, and an Ace counts as 2 controls. There are 12 controls in the deck.

AKA "Neapolitan Controls" since it was part of the Neapolitan Club and other Italian systems.

I think the OP is talking about modifying a BBO CC or full disclosure file. If so, sorry I can't help with that.

Making this modification to your 2/1 system doesn't make the system "not 2/1", so I see no need to change the system name on the card.

I think he is asking how to change the cc on bbo.

Try bringing up the old card, delete what you do not want and retype what you do, now try and save under a new file name. If that does not work ask for help from a "yellow" when you are online.


Also see if this helps.

If, indeed, the OP was referring to modifying the BBO convention card, that is not a problem.

Each opening bid has a button next to it which brings up a window listing all possible responses through 4NT. Merely enter the description of each response.

2♦ - 0 or 1K
2♥ - 1A or 2Ks
etc.

And, of course, you save the cc. The cc is saved on your computer.
