Is there a censor free country left ? (SWE ?, POL ?, NZL ?)

Denmark.

Everything is allowed here at teams. In club games the local club can make its own restrictions if it likes. But in national team tournaments there are no restrictions.

I have had the pleasure of playing 2-way forcing pass with OleBerg (0-8 or 16+) in a (very strong) club game. For instance. Once in a while people do show up with their own home brew.

I'd be very interested in the details of the OleBerg ambiguous (0-8 / 16+) forcing pass system. 30 years ago I devised a 0-7 / 17+ FP system and have been playing it sucessfully ever since with Wacko Jacko when we get the chance (I now live with a Greek on her island!). Thanks. Keith Henson

We played it as an extension of the Viking Club system, so that there was a relay system available in most sequences.

The basics are:

Openings:

Pass= 0-8 or 16+
1♣= natural 9-15, includes all 9-12 NTs
1♦= unbal natural 9-15
1♥/♠= 5card, 9-15
1NT= 13-15
2♣= 9-12 5♣+4♥
2♦= 9-12 5♦+4♥
2M= weak2
2NT= weak both minors.

Responses to pass (openings in 3rd/4th seat)

1♣= I also have 0-8 or 16+ ()
1♦= Nebulous, 9-15 (includes all balanced hands)
1M= 5card 9-15
1NT= Both minors at least 5-4, 9-15
2♣= 6card 9-15
2♦= 6card 9-15
2♥+= Disciplined pre

Pass-1♣-1♦ shows 0-8, anything else 16+.
If we have 0-8 opp 0-8 we pass 1♦ in that sequence.

The basic rule in competition is that partner can always see if we are weak or strong. So it's perfectly ok to bid actively with 0-8 (when we also can have 16+). That part has never gone wrong for us.

Feel free to inquire if interested in more details.
