It's been 10 years since BWS2001 was put together. Isn't it time to update it to a new version?
A lot of new treatments have gained popularity, we're even playing treatments like reversed Flannery which afaik didn't even exist back then. It might also be interesting to see some evolution.

There is something to say for a revision !
Personnally I like the docucment a lot. It covers a wide range of bidding sequences and I like to check my bidding against the BWS2001 defaults. To me it is a measure on how sound my systems are.
I have made a BBO-CC of it and defined it as my Preferred system.
The problem (
)is that nobody plays that system...
It would be nice to revive it, by a new group of experts.
At least some of grey areas could be solved, or better explicited. I have some notes (defining doubtfull sequence), which could be helpfull.
A sine qua non for a revision is the involvement of BWS, or that they transfer ownership to some other body, with enough weight, to "impose" the revision.
NB: By the way, could we have this Discussion under "2/1 and SAYC" not here under "General".
