Ohh different rules in Italy if you are permitted to open 1NT
I wonder what the rule is in WBF championship events?
I wonder what the rule is in WBF championship events?
Our agreements are (by no coincidence) exactly at the limits of those allowed by FIGB in a mid/lower level pairs tournament: at most a 5 card major, a 6 card minor, 9 cards in any two suits, one singleton, no void.
Most RAs have similar restrictions these days: ACBL wants the singleton to be a top honour, EBU IIRC allows a 6 card major (which I would not include even if allowed).
The real issue is whether the RA tolerates deviations to extreme distributions or not (as I Director I assume L40 applies in absence of guidance to the contrary, as a player I avoid pushing the issue).
