for the ACBL convention card please change the puppet Stayman to be in black in its 2 spots 1N & 2N.
It is no longer alertable so shouldn't be in red. been so for over a year.
his will quickly solve some arguments when a person thinks it is alertable.

1N - 3♣ is alerted.
1N 2♣ is not alerted, rebids by opener are.
2N 3♣ is not alerted, rebids by opener are.
1N 2♣ is not alerted, rebids by opener are.
2N 3♣ is not alerted, rebids by opener are.
It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.

The checkboxes for Puppet Stayman on the CC are for 1NT-2♣ and 2NT-3♣. These are the auctions that became non-alertable last year, so I changed them from red to black as requested.
1NT-3♣ is just a text field that you fill in with the meaning. It's alertable no matter what the meaning (even if it's natural, I think), and I left it red.

This isn't correct. In the "Not Alerted" section of the chart for "Responses to NT Opening Bids and NT Overcalls" is "Three-level natural responses whether or not it is a jump response".

You're right. To confirm, the Alert Procedure says:
The CC doesn't have a way to specify that the alertability of a bid depends on the meaning. The standard ACBL CC has all these lines red.
