Recently I was browsing around the 'Net and I ran across the Australian Bridge Federation's website where they hold the system cards for all their players in major tourneys (http://www.abf.com.au). One of the cards had the following in the "Other Notes" section:

<from the Australian Capital Territory's Youth CC PDF>

"We like to bid."
"We prefer to bid game."
"We are not afraid of Moysian fits."
"Suit quality is for wimps."

Another note that happened on a different CC <Western Australia's Open CC PDF>:

When do you use Gerber? Answer: When NOT holding 13 cards.

Third note, this time with South Australia's answer to the Gerber question...

When do you use Gerber? Answer: When hell freezes over.

Moral of the story is, the Aussies are definitely more progressive than us Americans. :o
"Champions aren't made in gyms, champions are made from something they have deep inside them - a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill. " - M. Ali
