Help
Just wondering,is it allowed to open a weak 2
explained as 5-5 without 1 of the suits known?
Say open 2D explained as "5-5weak" and you have
5 hearts and 5 clubs?

That's just brown sticker, and depends on where you want to play it...

willcoss it is right?, brown sticker, wich doesn't mean it cannot be allowed, I think you have to play a minimum of deals (not sure but the number is between 60 and 100 I think) against the same pair/team for a brown sticker to be allowed normally.

I played in a tourney a long time ago on BBO
and my RHO opened such with such a bid and
explained as 5-5 any suits.
My partner called TD and he "ruled" one suit must
be known,I didn't know then and I don't know now
if that is the case,law-wise.
Or if some federations allow it and others not....
I seem to recall the TD ruling was he skipped the board
(pd called him after the openingbid) and assigned
Average+ for us,and prob ave- for opps.

No Fluffy this is not Wilkosz. That shows 5/5 with at least one Major.

It depends on the rules of the tournaments. If no rules were specified, anything is allowed.
If the director specified that BSCs were not allowed, then this 2♦ opening was not allowed. I think Wilkosz is a BSC allthough it's a matter of interpretation (after all, it promises length in either major so maybe it could be argued that it's just an excotic style-variant of Multi).

The world would be such a happy place, if only everyone played Acol :) --- TramTicket
