1. When you open 1NT and left hand opponent doubles, responders call mean the same as without the double.
1NT - (Dbl) - 2♣ = stayman, 2♦ transfers for ♥ etc.
2. When you overcall 1NT and left hand passes, responders call mean the same as after opening 1NT
(1♦) - 1NT - (pass) - 2 = stayman, 2♦ transfers for ♥ etc.
1NT - (Dbl) - 2♣ = stayman, 2♦ transfers for ♥ etc.

(1♦) - 1NT - (pass) - 2 = stayman, 2♦ transfers for ♥ etc.

it usually refers to the situations
1NT-(dbl)-?
where it means that we bid as if the opponent has passes instead of doubled, i.e. transfers and stayman etc apply.
and/or
(1♦)-1NT-(pass)-?
where it means that we bid as if partner had opened 1NT rather than overcalled, ie. stayman, transfers etc apply. (the opening bid could also be some other suit, ♦ is just an example).
Wellcome to the forum btw !

Many people play system on over 1NT-(2♣), as long as 2♣ didn't promise both majors.
i.e. double=stayman, 2♦=hearts, etc
i.e. double=stayman, 2♦=hearts, etc
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

thanks dicklont & helene_t,
the next question is, if i agree system on for both situations, should i write on cc "system on over double and overcall" or something similar?

System on over overcall sounds as if it applies when p opens 1nt and they overcall.
Better put it in the relevant secotions. Under defensive bidding, put 1NT=15-18 (system on)
