Country: Comic NT
I am interested in playing this, described as 1NT = 15-18 or weak single suited or weak two suited. Is this GCC legal (country = USA) |

No, silly! (Well, you wanted a comic, no? :-) You have three options for a NT overcall: 1. Natural. 2. Three-suited takeout (at least 3 cards in each suit). 3. Two-suited takeout, at least one of which suits is known, min 5-4. You get to pick *one* and one only. On the GCC, the answer to "I want to play some multi-meaning bid. Is it GCC legal?" is almost always "No." The most common exceptions are: - 1C or 1D can be anything promising 10 high. Continuations can be messy, however, unless they're GF or the opening is invariably strong. - Responses to an ACBL-approved (note: not ACBL-legal) 1NT can be anything. - X and 2C over opponents' 1NT can be anything. - Defences to conventional calls can be anything provided they are not purely destructive. - After you get past Opening and Response, anything goes. There are others, but they almost never come up :-). As far as others go, this *might* be legal Mid-chart provided you authorize a defence (and ACBL-approved defences are murder to create, and they still have to approve it), and they believe it is "constructive" according to their definitions (which I have no idea of). If it isn't Mid-chart legal, it probably isn't Superchart legal, unless the weak suit is limited to one of two. Good luck! Michael. |
